What is Active Design
The built environment, where we live, work and play, has an important role in providing
everyone with more opportunities to increase physical activity. Incorporating active design
into the urban landscape and built environment will help integrate physical activity into
everyone’s daily routine. For instance, providing inviting streetscapes for pedestrians and
cyclists and making internal stairs more visible and attractive can induce people to engage
in more physical activities, which in turn will help combat non-communicable diseases such
as heart diseases, stroke and diabetes.
