Active Routes

Hong Kong is a vertical city defined by high-rise
buildings. As many people live or work in multi-
storey buildings, this presents opportunities to

encourage building users to take active routes
between different destinations and levels within
a building or development. There should be

integration of different connections to create active
routes within a building in order to encourage
people to walk more as part of daily intentional and
unintentional physical activity.

Strategic Positioning of
Building Functions

The strategic positioning of certain frequently
visited or popular destinations at the building
level can increase incidental activity which

can cumulatively contribute to greater activity
levels during the day. Complementary spatial
positioning of building functions can also

encourage physical activity through the use of
active routes.
