Large-scale greenway intervention promotes walking behaviors: A natural experiment in China
In this natural experimental study, we assessed the effects of a large-scale greenway intervention (i.e., the opening of East Lake greenway) on walking behaviors in Wuhan, China.

Go-along with older people to public transport in high-density cities: Understanding the concerns and walking barriers through their lens
We used content analysis with script close reading to analyse the natural conversations revolving in environmental, personal, safety and transportation factors. We found narrow sidewalks but with high pedestrian flow posed a challenge for older people.

Metro and elderly health in Hong Kong: protocol for a natural experiment study in a high-density city
We use a new metro line in Hong Kong as a natural experiment to examine the impact of the metro-led public transport intervention on elderly health. In Hong Kong, more than 90% of daily travels are made by public transport.

Walkability scoring: Why and how does a three-dimensional pedestrian network matter?
In this paper, we investigate why and how a three-dimensional pedestrian network makes a difference in walkability scoring, using Hong Kong as a case city.

New metro system and active travel: A natural experiment
We used the first metro system in a developing city as a natural experiment to investigate the causal inference in the new metro’s impact on modal shift and active travel.

Unravelling the impact of street network structure and gated community layout in development-oriented transit design
We investigate the associations between walking patterns and street network structure in the context of transit station development intended to create its own demand rather than serve existing demand, and an urban morphology dominated by gated communities in station areas.

A dose–response effect between built environment characteristics and transport walking for youths
In this study, we explore the dose-response relationship between built environment characteristics and transport walking for youths in Hong Kong, a city with large variations in residential density.

Ungating the city: A permeability perspective
In this article, we use permeability analysis to explore the ‘what if?’ question posed by the policy:/ what if gated communities became permeable? We ask the question in respect of non-motorised access.
