“Cities contribute 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and 21% of these come from urban transport alone. Shifting to walking and cycling can drastically reduce emissions and is the quickest and most efficient way to decarbonize transport.”
So that’s #Brighton & #Hove then

“High rates of active mobility lead to greater connectivity, reduced traffic and parking congestion, more reliable travel times and increased public transit ridership.”
That should be #Brighton & #Hove

“Active mobility has immense untapped potential and, when fostered through safe infrastructure, brings numerous economic, environmental, health and social benefits to the community.”
Yes, that’d be good for #Brighton & #Hove

“Cities boost their economy by improving pedestrian & cycling infrastructure, through increased sales, commercial rent & job creation. One study estimated 11 to 14 jobs are created per $1m invested in cycling & walking, compared to 7 jobs created when investing in highways”

“Ultimately, people’s physical, mental, social and economic health benefit from the ability to walk or bike in safe environments.”

That’s exactly what we need in #Brighton & #Hove
