When you switch from driving to cycling or walking for short journeys, it will help to keep you healthy and save a lot of money.

Sustainable development affects everyone as the impacts of our decisions as a society have real-time consequences for other people’s lives. With poor planning comes a reduced quality of life for the people living in that area. When health plans are incorporated into new community planning the residents can have easy access to healthcare and leisure facilities.
