Greener urban travel environments for everyone

Green spaces are an integral part of healthy and livable urban environments. Their availability is a question of environmental justice and equity. While the benefits of urban green spaces are well documented, little is known about greenery in everyday urban travel environments. Funded by the European Research Council, the 'Green Travel' project is researching the well-being impacts of green urban travel environments. The project provides approaches on where to add greenery to advance equity.
