London's Walking Action Plan aims to enhance health and reduce air pollution in London which houses 8.8 million people by making streets more pedestrian friendly. This plan is part of a wider strategy for 80% of all trips to be made on foot, bicycle or public transport by 2041. People who walk or cycle to work have much lesser risk of death due to heart disease or stroke, compared to those who commute by car. According to the World Health Organization, over 92% of the world's population live in places where air pollution levels are beyond safe limits.
