How can urban communities achieve gender-inclusive sustainable development?

In their journey towards sustainability, many urban communities worldwide encounter significant challenges due to gender segregation in public spaces. With the latter generally designed around the specific needs of men, physical limitations hinder the unfolding of an accessible, safe, and active gender-inclusive public life.

In this fourth episode of the Urban Innovation to Achieve Just & Sustainable Cities peer-learning series, we will explore how to transform our cities through gender-inclusive urban planning and construction processes. The panelists will reflect on some of the most impactful regulatory instruments and participative approaches from city developments in the Global South.
