Answer 1

Policies with respect to production of cars, luxury cars, two wheelers in preference to buses and trams has lead to 1. excessive increase in number of vehicles on roads 2. commensurate increase in fuel consumption and import expenses for any nation, 3. wear and tear of roads and consequent increase in maintenance expenses and disturbance and delay to smooth traffic 4. excessive increase in noise pollution due to blowing of horns 5. traffic jams adding to further increase in fuel consumption and wastage of time 6. increae in number of vehicular accidents 7. increase in vehicular exhaust causing poluution and global warming 8. excess of load on local trains [where avaialble] and consequent mishaps 9. overall increae in tardiness in the traffic and increase in anxiety and tension on working and business people 10. reduction in the overall output of all the people having to travel to their working place. 11. increase in the difficulty in movement of ambulances and fire fighters and reduced efficiency in disaster management 12. increased difficulty in controlling Law and Order situation, riots, thefts etc due slowing of police movement 12. difficulty in management of traffic One policy can affect several aspects of health such as ACCIDENTS, noise pollution, chemical pollution, wastage of money and man power lading reduction in the funds avaialble for health care system, crimes, delay in disaster management and so on. The root of the malady is thus in the policy. If it is driven by vested interests and sectarian motives then it would cause serious health problems one of the examples in case, is that of accidents! The holistic solution therefore is: Give preference to production of buses and improve bus services preferably public but if necessary pivate also. This would radically reduce the perlous maladies mentioned above. This is the essential sketch of the relation between accidents, holistic health and policies. However more details can be added by the experts related fields in related fields with holistic perspective.
