Associate ProfessorShannon Sahlqvist

I am passionate about building a world where physical activity is seamlessly integrated into everyday life, supporting both human health and planetary wellbeing. My work explores how cities, communities, and environments can be designed to make walking, cycling, public transport, and access to green spaces convenient, valued, and sustainable. By generating robust evidence, I aim to inform policies and programs that encourage active, low-carbon lifestyles while addressing broader societal challenges such as climate change and environmental resilience.
