Another interesting and engaging topic in today’s Changemaker Session: What if Women Designed the City? Women checking in from Brasil 🇧🇷 Pakistan 🇵🇰 Kenya 🇰🇪 Honduras 🇭🇳 Norway 🇳🇴 Malta 🇲🇹 and Sweden 🇸🇪.
May East, an international urbanist specialised in nature-positive and gender-sensitive cities, hosted topic of the day, shared about her research and her book building on in-depth walking interviews with 274 women that offers 33 leverage points on how planners, practitioners, and communities could intervene in urban planning systems so that cities can work better for women and girls, ultimately benefiting us all.
In break out rooms May guided us to reflected around 4 areas of how we could make our neighbourhood greener, wilder, more inclusive, liveable and poetic, the 4 areas:
- Sense of belonging
- Green space
- Active travel
- Safety
Big thank you to and everyone engaging. 💚
PS. We never record or take pictures during our sessions.
