Visualising Health Equity for Urban Planning

Cities & Health, in partnership with the Academy for Territorial Development in the Leibniz Association (ARL), announces a new Special Issue dedicated to the transformative role of visualisation in tackling health inequities through urban planning.

Why now? Across European cities, life expectancy can differ by more than eight years between neighborhoods. Such disparities are not only avoidable – they are unjust. The special issue, led by guest editor Prof. Dr. Martin Knöll (Technical University of Darmstadt), calls for innovative contributions that address how visual tools can better represent these inequalities and support more equitable urban environments.

Manuscript deadline: 1 November 2025
