| Abstract | The health economic assessment tool (HEAT) for walking and cycling has been developed as a user-friendly yet robust tool for transport and urban planners allowing the inclusion of physical activity benefits in transport appraisals. The most recent version can now also consider how much road crashes and air pollution affect these results, and what the effects on carbon emissions are. The HEAT process adheres to an agreed set of key principles and a standardized, iterative process for updates. An assessment consists of five steps that are described in this chapter. The HEAT has been used widely, and three practical applications in different settings are presented to illustrate possible uses and ways of disseminating the results. |
