The Her City toolbox enables sustainable and inclusive cities together with girls. Involving girls in urban development will contribute to better cities for everyone, because girls plan and design with diversity and different needs in mind. If we let citizens that are rarely heard be the experts, our cities will become more inclusive, equal and sustainable. On the occasion of International Womenâs day 8th of March 2021, the independent think tank Global Utmaning together with UN-Habitat, are launching the Her City Toolbox.
People increasingly live in cities. Urban areas are already home to 55 percent of the worldâs population, and that figure is expected to grow to 68 percent by the year 2050. Urbanisation brings enormous challenges, not least in terms of inequality. When cities are poorly- or unplanned, it is often followed by widened gaps between the city and rural areas, urban centres and outskirts, and between different groups in society.
