Every Walk You Take

We identify factors that impede or facilitate active living and promote a more liveable and resilient city landscape.
We have managed to engage with stakeholders in the Trinitat Vella and Bon Pastor neighbourhoods. Our point of contact has been the adult education centres in the two neighbourhoods, which are attended by people from a range of socio-economic statuses, thus minimizing selection bias. Through co-creation, we are developing a uHealth platform with real-time shared walking routes personalized based on geolocation and individual preferences, weather and air quality.
