Towards a gender-sensitive city

Without a gender-sensitive approach to urban development in the post-COVID era, the pandemic could have far-reaching effects including the risk of widening gender inequalities in various areas such as public health, urban participation, and social life. At the same time gender mainstreaming tools and good practices of gender-sensitive recovery strategies already exist, which, if used effectively, can mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 and contribute to an increased gender equality.

Considering this, the kick-off event of our COVID Cluster “Gender sensitivity in the pandemic” will focus on the following topics:   

  • Gender-sensitive urban planning and development
  • Urban approaches combating domestic violence
  • Gender responsive urban mobility

The event promotes the exchange of challenges and good practice in the planning and implementation of urban gender-sensitive recovery measures.

The kick-off event brings together municipal representatives and urban practitioners to present and discuss their challenges and good practices and to develop new project ideas through peer-learning and exchange. The kick-off event will set the ground for the formation of different working groups which will aim at further developing these project ideas by peer-to-peer exchange formats and with the support of relevant regional and international experts.
