Gender and Urban Planning

Gender and urban planning refers to the consideration of different needs and experiences of various genders when designing cities and public spaces. It acknowledges that men, women, and non-binary individuals often use urban areas differently due to social roles, mobility needs, and safety concerns. Effective urban planning includes accessible transportation, safe public spaces, and resources that cater to all genders, promoting inclusivity. By integrating gender perspectives, planners create urban environments that enhance the quality of life, promote equity, and serve the diverse population more effectively.
