Impact of a riverside accessibility intervention on use, physical activity, and wellbeing: A mixed methods pre-post evaluation
Abstract
Regeneration of natural urban areas might improve human's health and well-being. We observed an overall increase in users of an urban riverside after renovation. The proportion of females, adults, kids, and non-Caucasian population increased. We observed an increase of sedentary and moderately active users in the renovated area. Locals perceived the river to be beneficial for their health and well-being.
