Tree cover loss in the Americas: a critical indicator linking climate mitigation and planetary health
Summary: Trees and forests are vital carbon sinks and essential resources for communities across the Americas, yet persistent tree cover loss threatens climate stability and human health. Between 2001 and 2022, global tree cover loss exceeded 459 million hectares, with 40% occurring since the Paris…

High-stress paint-only bike lanes in U.S. cities: Prevalence in 2024 and patterns of geographical variation over 442 municipalities
Paint-only bike lanes are ubiquitous in U.S. cities, yet these facilities may not provide an inviting environment for bicyclists of all ages and abilities. Awareness of the stressfulness of these facilities would inform monitoring and evaluation in response to revised policy guidance. We estimated…

Greening urban areas in line with population density and ecological zone can reduce premature mortality
Abstract Urban green space and urban compactness are each important principles for designing healthy, climate-resilient cities. The principles can co-exist, but greening may come at density’s expense if not considered deliberately. Existing studies estimating health impacts of greening scenarios…

The epidemiologic case for urban health: conceptualizing and measuring the magnitude of challenges and potential benefits [version 2; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]
We discuss how epidemiology has been and can continue to be used to advance understanding of the links between urban areas and health informed by an existing urban-health conceptual framework. This framework considers urban areas as contexts for health, determinants of health and modifiers of…

Greenspace and mortality in the U.K. Biobank: Longitudinal cohort analysis of socio-economic, environmental, and biomarker pathways
Exposure to natural greenspace benefits health through direct and indirect pathways: increasing physical activity, improving mental health, relieving social isolation, reducing exposure to extreme temperature, noise, and air pollution. Understanding the etiologic pathway of greenspace and health is…

Impact of native-plants policy scenarios on premature mortality in Denver: A quantitative health impact assessment
Background: Cities often use non-native plants such as turf grass to expand green space. Native plants, however, may require less water and maintenance and have co-benefits for local biodiversity, including pollinators. Previous studies estimating mortality averted by adding green space have not…

Green space and mortality in European cities: a health impact assessment study
BACKGROUND: Natural outdoor environments including green spaces play an important role in preserving population health and wellbeing in cities, but the number of deaths that could be prevented by increasing green space in European cities is not known. We aimed to estimate the number of…

Premature mortality due to air pollution in European cities: a health impact assessment
Background Ambient air pollution is a major environmental cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cities are generally hotspots for air pollution and disease. However, the exact extent of the health effects of air pollution at the city level is still largely unknown. We aimed to estimate the…

VR Versus IRL Walking: Equivalencies and Discrepancies Between Walking Through a Downtown District in Virtual Reality and in Real Life
Discussion: Although participants walked similar durations in VR and the RW, transportation decisions differed, perhaps due to less intense walking in VR, leading to a shortage of time to complete the “errands.” Individuals tend to walk more slowly and cautiously in VR, meaning participants may…

Traffic-related air pollution and the local burden of childhood asthma in Bradford, UK
Asthma is a burdensome disease which is often cited as the most common chronic disease in childhood. Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) may be an important exposure in the development of childhood asthma. However, the burden of childhood asthma attributable to TRAP is poorly documented. Using a…

Historical patterns and sustainability implications of worldwide bicycle ownership and use
High bicycle ownership does not necessarily correlate with high bicycle use, with substantial health and environmental gains possible by worldwide pro-bicycle policy implementation, suggests a global compilation of bicycle ownership, production, trade and stock.

Greenness and averted mortality in 390 cities in China (2000–2020)Research in context
Summary: Background: China's growth over recent decades rapidly transformed the urban landscapes. Green spaces provide numerous health benefits including acting as nature-based solutions for climate change risks. Our study aims to track greenness trends in urban areas in China and quantify the…

Green spaces and mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
Summary: Background: Green spaces have been proposed to be a health determinant, improving health and wellbeing through different mechanisms. We aimed to systematically review the epidemiological evidence from longitudinal studies that have investigated green spaces and their association with…

Tracking Progress Toward Urban Nature Targets Using Landcover and Vegetation Indices: A Global Study for the 96 C40 Cities
Abstract Access to urban natural space, including blue and greenspace, is associated with improved health. In 2021, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group set 2030 Urban Nature Declaration (UND) targets: “Quality Total Cover” (30% green area within each city) and “Equitable Spatial Distribution”…

Use of public health benefits to design air pollution emission abatement strategies
Abstract This study presents a framework to identify feasible urban emission control strategies, using observed changes in air pollutants and economic activities during the Mexico City COVID-19 lockdown. The novelty of our framework lies in integrating an anomaly-based observational approach with…

Health Impacts of Active Transportation in Europe
Policies that stimulate active transportation (walking and bicycling) have been related to heath benefits. This study aims to assess the potential health risks and benefits of promoting active transportation for commuting populations (age groups 16–64) in six European cities. We conducted a health…
