The Gendered City

The Gendered City refers to how urban spaces are designed and used differently based on gender. Men and women often experience cities in distinct ways due to cultural norms, safety concerns, and access to services. For example, public transportation, lighting, and public spaces might be more accommodating to men, while women may face challenges related to safety or accessibility. Understanding the Gendered City helps urban planners create inclusive environments that consider the needs of all genders, promoting equality and improving the quality of life for everyone in the community.
