This document summarizes a project to increase walking in Camberwell, Australia. The project included developing plans to improve walking infrastructure on key corridors, implementing behavioral change initiatives, and assessing results. Surveys found half of trips were by car and walking could increase to over 30% of trips. Infrastructure upgrades like adding trees and seating increased walking by 20-100% along corridors. A behavioral program using a walking app and incentives increased participation and self-reported walking and driving reductions. The project demonstrated that improving infrastructure and promoting behavior change can successfully increase levels of walking.
Presented at the 2015 ACSP Conference this presentation provides an over of a paper evaluating the potential for trips on cargo bikes to substitute for car trips. While a large body of research has continued to investigate traditional bike transportation, cargo bikes offer the potential to capture trips for those that might otherwise be made by car. To investigate this, data from a survey of cargo bike users are evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistics. The survey queried how use and travel dynamics of characteristics with the hypothesis that cargo bike ownership has the potential to contribute to mode substitution behavior. From a descriptive standpoint, 68.9% of those surveyed changed their travel behavior after purchasing a cargo bike and the number of auto trips appeared to decline by 1-2 trips per day. Two key reasons cited for this change included the ability to get around with children and more gear. This is confirmed by regression models which underscore this trend towards increased active transport. Based on these results, further research could include focus on overcoming weather-related / elemental barriers (perhaps with an e-assist capacity), which continue to be an obstacle to every day cycling, and further investigation into families modeling healthy behaviors to children with cargo bikes
Webinar: Can cycling and walking help release the longevity dividend?ILC- UK
If we are to maximise the longevity dividend, we all need to live healthier not just longer. Too many of us are being forced out of work too early due to poor health. And poor health results in lower consumer spending.
The Government’s recently published obesity policy paper recognised the importance of remaining active. And COVID-19 has inspired cities across the world to invest in cycle infrastructure. Places like Paris, Milan, and New York, historically hostile to cycling have created hundreds of miles of temporary infrastructure.
Yet in the UK, as we get older, we cycle less.
The picture with walking isn’t much better, In England, men aged between 30 and 69 actually walk slightly more as they age while women walk considerably less. As we hit our 70s there is a significant drop-off in miles walked by men and women.
But we know that whatever our age, active travel works. We also know that supporting people to get to and around our town centres is vital if we are to begin to see an economic rebound. New and improved E-bikes and Scooters could play their part.
We have a relatively short window to deliver policy changes which could better support more of us to cycle and walk.

Design Matters: Six Questions, Many Answers
Six questions. So many answers! Meet national leaders from three collaborative design disciplines -- American Institute of Architects, American Society of Landscape Architects and American Planning Association -- and see how each tackles the same six questions. Hear how they meet similar design challenges but with different values and priorities for why design matters. A series of three questions will be addressed by the panel to begin the discussion, and then the audience will expand the conversation by posing additional quesitons and issues that they face.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Sustainability has become an increasingly critical topic as the world recognizes the need to protect our planet and its resources for future generations. Sustainability means meeting our current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It involves long-term planning and consideration of the consequences of our actions. The goal is to create strategies that ensure the long-term viability of People, Planet, and Profit.
Leading companies such as Nike, Toyota, and Siemens are prioritizing sustainable innovation in their business models, setting an example for others to follow. In this Sustainability training presentation, you will learn key concepts, principles, and practices of sustainability applicable across industries. This training aims to create awareness and educate employees, senior executives, consultants, and other key stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, and supply chain partners, on the importance and implementation of sustainability.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

42. Just the mere presence of trees and greenery
has the effect of enticing more people to walk
and exercise (Wolf, 2010)
Trees were variables that parents considered
when allowing their child to walk (Naderi and
Kim, 2006)
The likelihood of walking or biking to school
was positively associated with …… street
trees (Larsen et al, 2009)
More greenery was associated with being
physically active and not being overweight or
obese (Ellaway et al, 2005)
Trees encourage physical activity
43. Evidence indicates that landscaping/trees in urban
streets/arterials can reduce speeds and crashes
(Naderi, J.R. 2003) (Mok, J.-H., H. C. Landphair, and J. R. Naderi. 2006) (Lee, J., and F. Mannering. 1999) (Dumbaugh, E.
2005) (Chinn L and Elliott M. 2002) (Naderi, J.R., B.S. Kweon, and P. Meghalel. 2008)
Trees, when located on both sides of the street, create a
sense of enclosure that discourages drivers from speeding
U.S. Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration.
Trees can reduce speed/crashes
44. The lack of seating is a barrier (Stahla et al, 2013)

68. Focus on walking corridors to access a destination
Latent demand can be evaluated and best value achieved
Behaviour change promoted walking and the improvements
Self-efficacy – building belief in ones ability
Almost everyone is supportive of improving walking conditions
A mode shift to walking can be achieved and this
should be integral in managing our health,
environmental, traffic and parking challenges
In summary
Subjective distance, walking
20% of respondents had walked – screenlines indicate approximately 15,000 walking legs (trips)
10% extra could add 7,000-8,000 pedestrian trips a day
Urbanites all over the world are highly energy conscious when it comes to saving their own energy when walking. They cross streets where it is most natural for them, avoid detours, obstacles, stairs and steps, and prefer direct lines of walking everywhere
(Gehl, 2010)

The change since introduction…..change in behaviour
Respondents to Transport for London surveys indicated that wayfinding had not only assisted walking journeys but had also encouraged walking
(AIG, 2006)
GHD consultants were engaged to help design the program.
In conjunction with Cookson street improvements the pilot project targeted residents near Cookson Street
Language used – conversational rather than corporate
Emphasise freedom, pride and excitement
Searched long and hard for an app, and settled on MapMyWalk.
No off the shelf app was perfect.
To develop an app was not really in the realm of this project (plus very expensive).
Groups allow us to send notifications to our group members.
Friends allows us to see their activity.
The app allows us to validate trips and automatically log trips.
Last point - promote via local health providers (e.g. physios) including brochures and posters in practices
Last point - promote via local health providers (e.g. physios) including brochures and posters in practices
App builds self efficacy – knowledge that walking short distances is achievable
Key message is that this has enabled self efficacy (understanding of your ability to take a task) in that participants are aware of the distances they walk during the day and think nothing of walking these distances for their transport needs.
Also participants approved of the new infrastructure.
Almost everyone underestimates the value of walking
Almost everyone is supportive of more walkable environments
Road authorities are extremely challenged to improve conditions for pedestrians over traffic
Phone technology is not a barrier, ease of using the software is critical
Health is the prime motivator and not the financial rewards/prizes
