Gender and Urbanism

Gender and urbanism explores how urban environments affect and reflect the experiences of different genders. It examines the roles men, women, and non-binary individuals play in shaping cities and how their needs can differ, influencing design, safety, transportation, and public spaces. Understanding these dynamics helps create inclusive urban areas that accommodate everyone, such as improving lighting in public spaces for safety or ensuring access to childcare facilities. By recognizing gender differences, urban planners can foster equitable and vibrant communities that cater to the diverse populations living within them.
