My research focuses on promoting physical activity through walkable planning and design that encourages walking. I analyze the relationship between citizens’ step count and their built environment. Recently, I started a project that explores children’s active school travel, which combines safety and physical activity. This project involves professors from public health, civil engineering, ethics, and education.
