8. The Design Council: Why it pays to be an active city
The same elements that make a city a great
place for physical activity also make it more
competitive for investment and
job creation.

9. According to the World Health Organisation, physical inactivity is now the fourth largest contributor to global mortality and costs the UK economy around £20 billion a year.
There are massive gains to be had from reversing the decline in physical activity.
A city that makes “active living” a priority will have a major advantage in the global competition for jobs and investment.
Multiple studies have shown that making places better for walking can boost footfall and trading by up to 40% .

10. At the end of the day, of course, cities are a lot like people
At the end of the day, of course, cities are a lot like people. The ones that make physical activity a priority are healthier, more appealing and a lot better off than those that don’t.
