The Gendered Urban Environment

The gendered urban environment refers to how city spaces are shaped by and reflect gender differences, influencing how men, women, and non-binary people experience them. Features like street design, public transportation, safety measures, and available amenities can differently impact people's mobility, safety, and opportunities based on gender. For example, certain areas might feel safer or more accessible for some, while others may face obstacles or risks. Understanding this helps create cities that are more equitable, inclusive, and safe for everyone, regardless of gender.
