Overview 

Transport shapes how we live, connect, and thrive—yet it hasn’t worked equally for everyone. In collaboration with CIHT London, this seminar will explore how a gender-informed approach to planning and design can create more inclusive, accessible cities.

The London Legacy Development Corporation, with leading experts, has developed a Handbook that reimagines how we design public spaces—from streets to parks—so everyone can move safely and confidently from their doorstep to opportunity.

Cities have long overlooked how women and girls navigate urban spaces. By rethinking how we design and manage transport corridors, we can build places that are more liveable, resilient, and fair. Join us to discover how this global shift is transforming cities - and why it matters now more than ever.
