New book on Transport and Children’s Wellbeing
Transport is a leading cause of death for children globally, yet children’s needs are rarely taken into account in transport planning. It affects children in a myriad of ways from asthma to social interactions and satisfaction with life. The book proposes evidence-based solutions using real-world examples that support positive influences on well-being and eliminate or reduce negative impacts. It begins by discussing how transport relates to children’s physical, psychological, and social wellbeing and lays out a conceptual framing of influences on their travel outcomes. It then goes into detail on how speed and traffic affect safety, how emissions impact numerous health outcomes and describes how Health Impact Assessments could focus on children and transport. Following those chapters, the book then examines the different levels of influence on children’s travel from the individual and household to policy. Chapters address how to include children in the planning process, taking children with disabilities into account and they discuss how to increase children’s independent and active travel. The closing chapters look at various international examples from the Netherlands, Japan, and China, with a closing chapter on future directions. The book will be of interest to planners, researchers, advocates for children, and of course parents.
