Is your city designed for women?
There s every likelihood that unless you work in urban planning, or you re a woman who traverses the streets via foot or bike, this isn t a question you ve considered.
Much of the landscape of a city is taken for granted whether it s the width of footpaths, the height of traffic lights, the presence of CCTV, visible artwork or greenery. Though we d like to think otherwise, the design of cities is political and it is gendered. The majority of architects and urban planners worldwide are white men.
The design of our cities and towns must make women’s wellbeing and safety a priority

The way our cities and towns look and work reflects political priorities. In mid-19th century Paris, when Baron Haussmann was seeking public money for building his boulevards, he told the government that wide, open avenues would make it harder to riot and build barricades. In an age of urban insurrections at the heart of the French capital, that quickly opened up the public purse.
