Feminist Spaces: Redefining Architecture, Urban Design, and the Built Environment

English
Evento

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.
