- W2935855639 abstract "Urban environments are very complex systems with a myriad of factors intricately related. Built environment, transport, physical activity and sedentary behaviours, air pollution, and social contacts and feelings of loneliness can have effects on urban population’s health and well-being. Also, some of these determinants can be associated and can interact between them modifying their effects on health. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Taking into account this comprehensive health definition, this thesis covered different layers of health: general, mental, and physical. With four different studies, the results of the present thesis suggest that it is possible to design urban environments that can increase physical activity levels, mainly through active transport, and that the crime-safety perceptions can have an important role in terms of reinforcing the effects of the built environment on physical activity and sedentary behaviours. Furthermore, active transport, mainly bicycle use, seems to be a source of good mental health and well-being, and a tool to boost social capital production. Increasing physical activity levels also seems to be a good way to improve cardiovascular health through blood pressure levels reduction. The present thesis suggests that urban and transport planning have a great potential to promote healthy behaviours and ensure mental and physical health of city dwellers, mainly through active transport promotion. In order to improve the health promotion through urban environment, more research about aesthetics urban attributes, urban social capital production, effects on mental health and well-being, and effectiveness of urban interventions is needed." @default.
