- 7. Migration and Urbanization Gender roles and relations
- 8. Feminist research highlights the importance of bringing a gender perspective to the urban planning, management, and governance agenda. Women and men experience city life in different ways. Beyond the fears and risks of outright violence and assault, women and girls face gender-based discrimination across all aspects of daily life. These abuses range from gender-based violence to more subtle discrimination, including exclusion from political and socio-economic participation and limited access to services in the context of economic development and privatization.
- 9. Urban planning is part of the larger context of urban governance and management. The local government must recognize the systemic impacts of discrimination. The examining of urban governance with gender and socio- economic dynamics of the city in mind is a critical starting point in the assurance of equalities, inclusion, and urban sustainability.
- 10. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS GENDER ISSUES AND CONCERNS IN URBAN PLANNING AND DESIGN?
- 12. Exclusion of women or Gender-neutral
- 13. Inclusivity These gender discrimination issues range from violence and sexual harassment in public and private spaces to the inaccessibility or nonexistence of educational and job opportunities, land ownership, public spaces, political voice, and health and financial services. To address these critical concerns, gender mainstreaming must be introduced into all aspects of city life, including urban planning and design.
- 15. WHAT IS GENDER MAINSTREAMING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
- 16. Gender mainstreaming means: Thinking about the way labor markets work and their impact on women’s and men’s employment. Considering family structures, parental roles, and domestic labor – e.g. care work – and how this impacts women’s, men’s, and children’s lives in the short and long term. Analyzing gender dynamics in private and public institutions to form recommendations on how to mainstream gender-sensitive policies and practices across all sectors. Reshaping the systems at large rather than adding small-scale activities.
- 17. Gender mainstreaming means: Responding to the root causes of inequality and putting remedial action in motion. Building partnerships between women and men to ensure both participate fully in society’s development and benefit equally from society’s resources. Ensuring that initiatives respond to gender differences as well as work to reduce gender inequality and discrimination. Asking the right questions to see where limited resources should be best diverted. Increasing attention to men and their role in creating a more equal society that is empowering and inclusive of women and girls.
- 18. HOW CAN GENDER EQUALITY BE MAINSTREAMED INTO INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS URBAN PLANNING ISSUES IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE URBANIZATION?
- 19. Gender mainstreaming steps: 1. PREPARATORY PHASE There are 4 steps in preparatory stage 2. IMPLEMENTATION PHASE It is important to build holistic partnerships to hold diverse local authorities and actors accountable for making cities more gender sensitive, safe, and inclusive for women and girls. This includes technical and women’s rights- based trainings for transit workers, police, urban planners, service providers, and infrastructure ministries.
- 20. Gender mainstreaming steps: 3. MONITORING AND EVALUATION After the scoping study, it will be important to select a strong research institution or M&E consultant to conduct a baseline, midline, and end line study to measure the impact of the programme. This institution should have a strong understanding of the programme as well as experience in gender, development, and the key subject matter.
