This research summary gives a synopsis of the current state of peer-reviewed research into what makes community "walkable" and "bikeable," so people can be physically active in daily routines. Companion research summaries outline findings on the environments that encourage people to be active in their leisure time, and on the environmental influences of childhood obesity. Active Living Research wants solid research to be part of the public debate about active living.
