Webinar Series on European Perspectives on Justice Issues in Socio-Spatial Change – Part 3
The ARL - Academy for Territorial Development, in collaboration with the Regional Studies Association (RSA), is organising a three-part webinar series as part of the RSA City and Regional Sustainability Transitions Webinars. The third part will take place on April 15th 2025, on the topic of Urban Planning for Health Equity.
Transitions, especially in the context of regional and urban development and sustainability involve significant changes that can affect communities in different ways. This three-part webinar series highlights the importance of equity in transitions as equity is essential to ensure that transitions are inclusive, equitable and beneficial for all members of society. The series will focus on three key areas: social housing, energy justice and health equity.
We would like to invite all interested parties to the third webinar in the series:
Webinar #3: Urban Planning for Health Equity
Tuesday, 15th April 13:00 CEST (12:00 BST) - online
Health inequality remains a persistent issue in cities, with disparities that are not only avoidable but also socially unequal, unjust, and inequitable. A clear example of this can be seen along the Jubilee Line in London, where the state of health is influenced by spatial divides. These inequalities highlight the vital role that spatial planning, especially urban planning, plays in shaping public health.
To make progress, it's crucial to sensitise local decision-makers—especially those in planning, administration, and politics—to the impact of spatial inequalities on health. One key approach to achieving this is through the use of visualisation tools, which can effectively communicate complex issues and foster a deeper understanding of the challenges at hand.
