SaludTues TweetChat - Tackling Health Inequities
I'm so excited to be joining Salud America's #SaludTues Tweetchat tomorrow around the topic of health equity and urban design. We'll be tackling tough questions, including defining health equity, how urban design can help heal the "chronic wounds" caused by long-standing structural inequities and spatial injustices, and outlining several tools that can help urbanists champion health equity! And I'll be joined by an all-female powerhouse (see more details below!)
Let’s use #SaludTues on Feb. 2, 2021, to tweet about how advocates, planners, and other leaders can take action to solve the chronic wound of health inequities!
