lessons from a process evaluation of integrating health in urban reconstructionSamenvatting
The current article presents an in-depth case study as part of a health impact assessment (HIA) on the effects of a major integrative infrastructural urban redesign project in Maastricht on physical activity and health; the Green Carpet project. In this 1.2 billion euro reconstruction project, a highway that crossed several neighborhoods was tunnelled and the space on top of this tunnel was redesigned and prioritized for pedestrians and cyclists, which is further elaborated on in paragraph 2. The aim of this paper is to explore and describe the role of context in explaining the developments within the integrated urban reconstruction project and its presumed health effects over time, and to draw implications for evaluation theory and methodology such as spatial or urban health impact assessment.
