If policies to improve and enhance places are to address gender inequality, they must also take into account the issues and needs of both women and men.
The policy implications are clear.
Gender-sensitive urban planning starts with the needs of people in communities. The design of places and spaces needs to reflect the socio-cultural needs of women as well as men, girls as well as boys.
Existing policies and programmes need to be scrutinized to see how they can be adapted to become more gender aware and bring about genuine gender equality.
