Gender and Urban Space

Gender and urban space explore how cities are experienced differently based on gender identities. Urban environments are shaped by design, policies, and social norms that influence safety, accessibility, and comfort. For example, women may feel less safe in poorly lit streets or secluded areas, affecting their movement and activities. Recognizing these differences helps create inclusive cities where everyone can navigate comfortably and securely. It highlights the importance of considering diverse needs in urban planning to promote equality and ensure that public spaces serve all members of society effectively.
