A wide range of submission types is welcome.


We think there is an important role for visualizing health inequities in, and for, urban planning. Diagrams, sketches, drawings, charts, maps, virtual or physical models, renderings, photographs or videos can all be relevant tools to help show existing health inequities and the impact urban planning may have on diminishing health inequities.


With this Call for Contributions, we want hear from a range of actors who are involved in the role of visualisation in urban planning for health equity.
