The Toolkit for Health, Arts, Parks and Equity

This toolkit proposes a strategy to address the structures, institutions, and the determinants that shape health equity. Health equity is understood as everyone's right to fair and just opportunities to be as healthy as possible. It centers the power of parks and open spaces, and arts and culture as conduits for community building. The toolkit shows how they can be used to heal communities, build social capital, and mobilize residents to be agents of change for improving the conditions that impact their health.
