Active travel should be a key part of this. People need to switch from driving to walking and cycling.
Fewer cars on the road will also improve air quality in cities.

I get what you mean but I find anti car rhetoric way too overdone.
Given the topic is about health issues there’s going to be a lot of people who have limited mobility so cycling isn’t viable and walking may only be short distances. Therefore a car provides them freedom they need.

I agree cars are indispensable in certain cases but that shouldn’t detract from the need to reduce journeys by car. In London 1 in 3 schools are close to roads with illegal levels of N02 pollution. Improving air quality is critical to preventing damage to young lungs as well as improving road safety.
