Abstract
The benefits of active travel for individual and urban health, the environment, and society are becoming increasingly apparent (Celis-Morales et al. 2017), and many cities are preparing ambitious walking and cycling plans. However many transport authorities lack strong and actionable evidence to support this investment for a number of reasons, including: transport models have tended to focus on motor vehicles (Boyce and Williams 2015), data on active travel tends to be sparse and inaccessible (Kuzmyak et al. 2014), data and models are often not accessible for many potential stakeholders (e.g. civil society groups), or in formats that are difficult to understand and use (Naess et al. 2014). This project aims to tackle these problems by assessing the feasibility of tools to provide actionable, publicly accessible, and geographically detailed evidence to prioritise investment in cycling for the case study cities of Accra, Ghana and Kathmandu, Nepal.
