Hope this post is accepted here, have nowhere epse to post it.
Im am actuary, and was accepted for a masters degree in statistics and I want to do my research project on the relationship between urban mobility and life expectancy and wanted to know if anyone here have or knows about research papers related that I could read and use as reference.
Thank you!
The book Urban Sprawl and Public Health (2004) was the first major work to connect car-centric design to life expectancy, so it might be worth reading
You might be able to find something useful in one of the journals for transportation or preventative medicine. Using search terms such as ‘active travel’ and ‘modal share’ might help. You could also think about distinguishing between health state life expectancy and life expectancy.
Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for but you could also look at examples of cost benefit analyses that have been calculated in the UK, where savings to the NHS are predicted in terms of increased modal share of active travel.
