Gendered Urbanism

Gendered urbanism examines how cities and urban spaces are designed and experienced differently based on gender. It recognizes that men, women, and non-binary individuals often have different needs and experiences in public spaces due to social roles, safety concerns, and access to resources. For instance, the availability of safe public transport, parks, and amenities can vary, impacting how comfortable and accessible urban areas are for different genders. This discipline advocates for inclusive planning that considers diverse perspectives to create more equitable and functional urban environments for everyone.
