THAT-Brisbane builds on THAT-Melbourne, a Planning Institute of Australia Award winning tool for measuring life-time health benefits from walking and cycling.
This Project extends THAT-Melbourne to the city of Brisbane to measure chronic disease impacts from replacing short car trips with walking, cycling or a combination of both. The tool shows physical activity-related health impacts of changes in travel behaviour and provides metrics for Life Years, Health Adjusted Life Years (HALYs) and incidence and mortality from chronic diseases. THAT-Melbourne can be freely accessed through the Australian Urban Observatory and once complete, THAT-Brisbane will similarly be made available.
THAT metrics can be used to for advocacy purposes and for understanding the health benefits that come from undertaking more transport related physical activity.
