The document discusses the initiative 'My Healthy Arequipa' aimed at promoting non-motorized transport and improving public spaces in Arequipa, Peru, between 2009 and 2011. It highlights significant public health concerns, including high air pollution levels and low physical activity rates, leading to the implementation of a program to enhance public spaces and reduce vehicle travel. The successful Arequipa model inspired 240 out of 249 municipalities in Peru to replicate similar initiatives to foster physical activity and improve urban living conditions.
