“…Our study focuses on Hong Kong, an iconic high-density city in China. Hong Kong and other high-density cities in China are different from cities in Western countries in many respects, having larger populations, higher population densities, lower crime rates, a lower socioeconomic status, and different family structures and other cultural affinities [ 31 , 32 ]. For example, the dwelling density of the Hong Kong urban area is over 1250 units per hectare, which is 5 times higher than that of a typical relatively dense European city (Cerin et al, 2011).…”

Hong Kong is a densely populated and transit-oriented Chinese city, which provides an ideal urban environment with which to study the various successful facets of land use policy as a model for potential replication to curb increasing car use in other Chinese cities. We examine the commuting mode choice of 203,900 households living in 4768 street blocks in Hong Kong from 2011 census. A street block is the smallest planning unit, made up of one or more housing estates with a homogenous built environment and socioeconomic status. The built environment is measured using the five Ds framework, an international dimensioning framework for classifying and measuring attributes of the built environment for physical activity and travel behaviors. Generalized, multi-level mixed models were applied to detect the associations between travel choice and built environment characteristics, while adjusting for socioeconomic status. Design and destination accessibility had greater effects on the choices to walk and take public transport than on the choice to drive. Density and diversity had only marginal effects on mode choice. Unexpectedly, distance to the urban center had the opposite effect on automobile use to that found in Western studies. Hong Kong residents living close to the urban center were more likely to drive for commuting trips. The contrasting findings between our study and Western studies suggest that the associations between a high-density built environment and travel choice vary with urban context.

“…In a hundred years' time from 1841 to 1941, the colony was busy in coping with the problems of early settlement, influx of refugees, hygiene in the dense city areas, export and productivity, internal and external pressures. Government could spare little attention, energy and budget on the public facilities (Xue, Ma, & Hui, 2012;Xue, Zou, Li, & Hui, 2012).…”

“…В модернизированной "5D" добавляются расстояния до транзитных остановок и доступность пунктов назначения [7], в "3D + R" добавляется учет маршрута движения [8]. Развитие инфраструктуры в рамках ТОР соответствует концепции британского "Нового Города" эпохи после Второй мировой войны, по сути, предшествующей концепции ТОР [9]. "Новые Города" имеют характеристики, соответствующие концепции ТОР, такие как высокая плотность населения, доступность объектов, развитая пешеходная инфраструктура вокруг станций общественного транспорта.…”

Lack of physical activity (PA) is considered as one of the risk factors for a number of chronic non-communicable diseases. The sedentary lifestyle of a significant part of developed countries population, along with the insufficient effectiveness of traditional tools to stimulate the PA of the population, determine the interest of healthcare in optimizing urban space for increasing PA. In Russia, the number of studies in this area is extremely small, which determines the purpose of this review: presentation of the foreign results of the implementation of practical concepts and programs for optimizing urban space, as well as prospective studies that demonstrate the most evidence-based causal relationships of PA changes. Focus in prevention of diseases in Russia over the past decade, determines the scientific interest in risk factors, the features of its formation, and possible ways of implementation. In this regard, the results of such topics will be in demand by Russian health care, which will require the conduct of own Russian studies, taking into account foreign experience.
