Next week our friends at Urban Forum are bringing internationally-known walking researcher Dr. Rodney Tolley (seen above) to Ottawa for a presentation entitled “Walking Around the World: Innovation and inspiration for better pedestrian environments<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Here are the details from the Urban Forum media release:<\/p>\n

Wednesday June 29th, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

Champlain Room, Ottawa City Hall | 7pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr Rodney Tolley, Conference Director, Walk21; Honorary Research Fellow, Staffordshire University (UK)<\/p>\n

Active living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into daily routines. Evidence shows that compact, mixed use, walkable and cycle-friendly environments can encourage active living that has associated health, economic, environmental and social benefits. In spite of this, car-oriented communities persist, \u2013 though there are powerful demographic and economic forces now at work to achieve active living.<\/p>\n

Rodney Tolley will argue that the creation of environments supportive of active living requires collaborative partnerships between all levels of government and other agencies. Using examples from around the world, he will draw attention to the remarkable resurgence in active travel in the past decade and demonstrate how cities are re-evaluating past development paradigms \u2013in order to achieve liveability and sustainability in the future<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
