The HLTHub is leading research and exploring health co-benefits
The Healthy Low-carbon transport Hub has been established to lead research into the potential to maximise the health benefits of low-carbon transport.
HLTHub will propose and evaluate new solutions for maximising health co-benefits and reducing health inequalities associated with low-carbon transport interventions by taking a ‘whole systems’ approach.

What we are doing
Maximising health co-benefits and reducing health inequalities associated with low-carbon transport interventions.
Promoting physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Identifying barriers, incentives and accelerants to implementing healthy low-carbon transport schemes.
Co-designing research with Industry stakeholders and the HLTHub People’s Panel
For policy makers, urban planners and public health officials, the goal must be to design cities that support safe, active, and inclusive transport options ensuring that the health benefits for all outweigh the risks which may exacerbate health inequalities.

Our interdisciplinary research programme will deliver a multiple-outcome approach to the planning, implementation and assessment of low-carbon transport schemes, with full integration of health co-benefits and equity considerations. This is long overdue, and will bring step-change improvements in both public health and progress towards a low-carbon future.”
