Background Urban planners consider walkable neighbourhoods to be ones characterized by a variety of services and destinations easily accessed through well-connected street networks. Residents of more walkable neighbourhoods report higher levels of utilitarian walking compared to residents of less walkable neighbourhoods. The relationship between neighbourhood walkability and objectively assessed total walking is less clear.ObjectivesThe objective of my thesis was to determine if neighbourhood walkability (based on Geographic Information System (GIS)-derived street connectivity, land use mix and population density) is associated with higher levels of accelerometer or pedometer-assessed total walking in the general Canadian adult population a...
