Gender-responsive urban planning is crucial for fostering inclusive and equitable cities. It acknowledges diverse needs and experiences of all genders, promoting safety, accessibility, and social cohesion. By considering factors like transportation, public spaces, and housing through a gender lens, cities can mitigate inequalities, enhance women’s participation, and create environments where everyone can thrive. This approach ensures that urban infrastructure and policies cater to the unique requirements of different genders, fostering a more just and sustainable urban landscape.
