NICA | Exploring the Future of Mobility and Gait in China
35
Health Positive Adaptations Driven by the desire for healthier longer lives, attitudes towards mobility solutions are changing Countries across the globe are facing the same poignant challenges posed by unsustainable practices, which have introduced multiple forms of pollution and environmental damage, impacting the health of all. As the global agenda shifts to climate change mitigation, global leaders, including China, focus on policies that address the impact different sources of pollution have on the planet. For China, a country that has experienced rapid industrialisation and population growth, the challenges are now clearly visible. Transport solutions that move people and goods have grown exponentially to help fuel this economic growth at the cost of public health and wellbeing. With transport being one of the most substantial contributors to pollution, focus of citizens and the government is now on reducing its impact on the health and wellbeing of everyone.
