English
Event
The built environment, shaped by a lack of diversity in decision-making, often perpetuates social and economic disparities affecting marginalized groups, including women, individuals with disabilities, and sexual and gender minorities.
This session will explore critical topics that address these inequities, including:
Access to public spaces: Ensuring inclusive and equitable use for all.
Mobility and safety: Enhancing secure and barrier-free movement.
Health and well-being: Promoting environments that support physical and mental health.
Representation and participation: Amplifying diverse voices in planning and design processes.
Affordability and accessibility: Creating spaces that are financially and physically attainable for all.
Social support and community connections: Strengthening networks that foster belonging.
Empowerment and agency: Encouraging individuals to shape the spaces they inhabit.
Child- and family-friendly design: Prioritizing spaces that cater to the needs of families and young children.
Sustainability and environmental justice: Addressing the intersection of ecological responsibility and social equity.
Join us to uncover how inclusive design and equitable planning can transform the built environment into a tool for social progress and empowerment.
