A healthy city is an equitable one, where all residents can access essential services and opportunities. Today’s urban leaders must address systemic inequalities in the provision of:
reliable, efficient public transportation
emergency facilities and support during extreme weather events
clean air and clean water
dynamic, restorative public spaces
high-quality healthcare
Investing in resident well-being and equity leads to improved public health, stronger communities, and a more inclusive urban landscape.
