Equity and the City

Equity is at the heart of the Healthy Cities approach to preventing chronic disease. Unfortunately, inequities are only increasing in our society, negatively impacting on the health of our communities. Join us to explore the role of planning as a tool to understand and address inequity in the health, energy, and transport sectors.
