Approach
 Sidewalk audit  
 Quantitative data collection
 Examination - volunteer NCD 
patients using HIA parameters
 The trend of globalization and modernization       socioeconomic dynamics increased car dependency and mobility behavioural changes
 Major risk factors for NCD - physical inactivity
 Urban development approaches and motorization sedentary lifestyles, diminished space and opportunities for physical activity       non-
communicable diseases [1]
 One out of ten people breathes polluted air - WHO, 2018 report
 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week for adults – WHO [2]
