Overview

The Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART) is a decision-support tool to identify and reduce health inequities in cities. The tool enables local communities, programme managers, and municipal and national authorities to:

  • better understand the unequal health determinants, unequal health risks and unequal health outcomes faced by people belonging to different socioeconomic groups within a city;
  • use evidence when advocating and planning health equity interventions;
  • participate in intersectoral collaborative action for health equity;
  • apply a health equity lens in policy-making and resource allocation decisions.
