Collaboration between the health and transport sectors in promoting physical activity : examples from European countries

The European network for the promotion of health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA Europe), in collaboration with THE PEP Task Force for the Promotion of Safe Cycling and Walking in Urban Areas, carried out this collection of case studies. It documents, analyses and draws lessons from relevant experiences developed in different European countries through collaborations between the transport and other sectors, particularly the health one, in promoting physically active transport modes. It provides also a full description of how cross-sectoral collaborations can work in real life, highlighting opportunities, challenges and possible ways to make these collaborations even more successful, particularly through improved evaluation of their results.
