The digital guideline presents a cost-efficient process that includes 9 building blocks on how to co-plan cities from a girl’s perspective. The 9 blocks represent the three phases of the urban development process. They guide the users through the assessment phase (block 1-3), the design phase (block 4-6), and the implementation phase (block 7-9). Moreover, each one of the blocks contains a number of activities with detailed steps to follow, and tools such as checklists, calendars, agendas, manuals, forms, boards, apps, templates, surveys, and visualization services.

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.

Global Utmaning is hosting a panel discussion on the importance of social entrepreneurship for a just transition, in partnership with Reach for Change. The virtual side event will be moderated by Catarina Rolfsdotter-Jansson, Chair Global Utmaning.Â
