Our vision is to create cities that are inclusive, gender-equitable, and free from the restrictions and failures that women face. We envision urban environments where women have equal access to opportunities, safe and inclusive public spaces, and where their voices are valued and heard in decision-making processes.
Our mission is to promote gender equity and social justice in urban life and raise awareness about the gender disparities and exclusions in urban environments. Through research, advocacy, and community engagement, we aim to challenge and transform the existing structures and design of cities to be more inclusive, responsive, and empowering for women and marginalized groups.
Transform and Advocate for Gender-Equal Cities.
Make Gender-equal cities the new default.
We recognize the intersectionality of gender with other forms of inequality and marginalization, and we strive to address these intersections through our initiatives.
A Handbook that presents innovative interdisciplinary approaches to comprehending gendered spatial equity within urban environments. Positioning design as a central element in the production, construction, representation, and materialization of gendered spatial practices brings together theory and practice to critically examine, challenge, and facilitate solutions that address the underlying causes of gender inequalities in cities. Through a diverse range of case studies, practice-led interventions, and historical and theoretical perspectives, it explores crucial issues impacting the experiences and participation of women and marginalised individuals in urbanspaces.

Diving into the intersection of #cities, #feminism, and #inclusivespaces with a social entrepreneur, educator, and feminist urbanist, Nourhan Bassam
Which design decisions result in gender inequality and how can architecture contribute to creating equality and inclusivity for every gender?.
Large cities are still built and designed by and for men. This ensures, among other things, that women and minority groups feel unsafe and fall victim to sexually transgressive behaviour.
Delving in the work of the “#gendered #city” took me to a feminist analysis of architecture.
“Every day was a struggle to avoid, protect from, and prevent harm in public spaces. Could I ever truly belong in this city? Nourhan Bassam from “The Gendered City book”.
“Cities for too long have been failing women, in mobility, economic empowerment, safety, and representation, and it’s past time for this to change”
Certain bodies become socially entitled to take up space, while others are not. Some of us find ourselves within hostile environments where our presence is unwelcome and we are made to be out of place.
We are part of the collective "Women of the NEB" presenting our work in The New European Bauhaus Festival" Women Shaping Spaces"
