such as environmental, social, and economic issues were found. For this reason, the
literature review was useful to collect data for the categories and criteria for the tool’s
development.
Articles were selected from online databases by using specific keywords. The
studies, selected and compared by means of eligibility criteria, have been used to
include or exclude articles from the analysis.

Italia.
• Progetto Città Sane. Comune di Milano.
• A healthy city is an active city: a physical activity planning guide, Who Europe.
