New developments must integrate transport and cycling infrastructure which is not just designed for work commutes but for all types of uses and all types of users, providing benefits for both mental and physical health, strengthening communities and reducing isolation. Making walking and cycling safer and more accessible will allow children to travel independently from their parents at an earlier age and older people to continue to travel independently as they age. Properly designed cycling infrastructure can also be well-utilised by people on mobility scooters, electric wheelchairs, wheelchairs and other mobility aids.
