Résumé :
|
This book summarizes the key facts on which countries based their decisions. Developed from a document prepared for the London Conference, it summarizes the latest scientific evidence on the impact of transport-generated air pollution, noise and accidents on behaviour and physical and mental health. The book also highlights the considerable potential health benefits from non-motorized forms of transport, such as cycling and walking. This book can alert policy analysts, decision-makers and politicians to current knowledge, and point the way to action for sustainable transport. Il calls for policies that require the creators of transport-related costs to pay for them, and take proper account of environment and health implications in decisions on transport infrastructure and urban development. These and others steps are needed if Europe is to reduce ill health and realize the potential for transport to serve society's needs and promote people's health. The charter on transport, environment and health is in annex 1 of this document. (adapté du texte).
