| Abstract | To measure urban health, planners collect, model, and evaluate data. The data can be diverse and extensive. Factors that a planner considers include a city’s environment, demographics, physical health, economy, and social well-being. The planner also considers that this data can be different for different areas of a city. Our objective is to assess the sociodemographic well-being of citizens in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada based on the wards they live in. |
