![]() ![]() In a subset of ALPhAs, we collected further information about their individual health profiles and more information about the accessibility of these spaces. In addition, participants captured information about the motivations and experiences of the people that use these spaces (ALPhAs!). Using geolocated multimedia data (photos and text), our citizen scientists captured features of these spaces that pose health risks from air pollution exposures and safety and injury risks which may cancel out benefits to health from exercise. We adopted an asset-based approach, we asked members of the public who are claiming public space for exercise (we call these ALPhA spaces ) to tell us about public spaces they use (or have observed to be used) for leisure physical activity. Using participatory approaches, we investigated exercise in public space to re-imagine urban space for healthy, safe exercise in Lagos, Nigeria and Yaoundé, Cameroon, countries with similar demographic and NCD risk profile. ![]() The study, which was conducted in Lagos and Yaoundé from 2019-2022, works at the interface of public health, urban infrastructure, urban planning, environmental engineering, and atmospheric science. ![]()
