Thanks to Jaymi Derrett for sharing the following two new reports:
*Designed to Move: Active Cities* A new report, *Designed to Move: Active Cities* http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001sSzFkjCHriLo0e2HUsB-iMemcooqSuaq3xztKCiOEPKsDGBJTRpzVKXm9byI0f2ykVbv_2ByvaI_cbi7YGc_e7ELiYdmGN76A7dSw9oKeXRF3Vz3y1OoyYor3iRw8Cj_vmQz5NQTIogohk-6yr6C-Bbs5A3f5zeX7yZsB5qE1jBaTwoIfIv_-XK37plbF0ZxnfYApqkASZFaAL1zBywrEw==&c=yzM6sKr27tGrwVorGmpvvyS7ogy2SsveDOOcAQLwPHrJAr_RFijEtg==&ch=V6gF5N-7z1C0suAdCfXsLiPPl98sFOu4Sc5KVpi7yClc5da9gnUGGg==, is a blueprint for city leaders in creating an active city, regardless of city size or location. The report shows that cities with physically active populations are not only more economically competitive - they also benefit from increased productivity, improved school performance, higher property values, and improved health and well-being.
*State of the Walking Movement in Canada* The State of the Walking Movement in Canada: Survey Summary Report file:///C:/Users/Owner/Desktop/State-of-Walking-in-Canada-Survey-Summary-Report_final_2015.pdf is the presentation of findings collected from The State of the Walking Movement in Canada Survey. The survey investigated the practices, resources, and needs of groups and organizations across Canada that promote walking and plan for walkability. Acquiring this information is of timely importance due to the increasing reliance on the private automobile, and increasing rates of chronic illness throughout the country, to which walking can combat.
