Urban Health Equity

Urban health equity refers to the fair distribution of health resources, services, and opportunities across city populations, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or neighborhood. It aims to reduce disparities so that everyone in an urban area has the same chance to live a healthy life. Factors like access to healthcare, clean environment, safe housing, and healthy food are essential. Achieving urban health equity involves addressing social and economic inequalities that impact health outcomes, ensuring all residents can enjoy good health and well-being, regardless of their background or where they live in the city.
