Gender Responsive Urban Planning

Gender Responsive Urban Planning refers to the approach that considers the different needs, experiences, and priorities of all genders in designing cities and communities. It aims to create inclusive environments that address issues like safety, accessibility, and resource allocation. For example, this might involve ensuring public transport is safe for women, providing childcare facilities, or designing parks that are welcoming to everyone. By integrating gender considerations, urban planning can enhance the quality of life, promote equality, and ensure that urban spaces work effectively for everyone, regardless of gender.
