3. Learn about impacts on health, equity and communities

Purpose

To provide background learning resources in two sections:

• Making the case for health and equity

Economic development decisions have considerable impacts on health - this section provides a brief overview of this relationship, as well as example questions projects can ask when considering health and equity in infrastructure projects.
