FOR DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS

Designing development to meet the needs of women and girls will not only align your proposal with mandatory planning policy requirements, but it also delivers a range of social value, offering a host of planning benefits in the process! We work with a range of developers, from residential and commercial to university campuses, to deliver:

Training:
Train your wider team on gender-sensitive urban design and planning principles.

Gender Champions:
From development to design, planning, and delivery, we can advise on making every part of your project gender-sensitive.

Engage with Women and Girls:
We engage with the local community to identify the needs of women and girls and create reports to shape your development proposals. Using innovative and participatory methods like co-designing, journaling, and exploratory walks, we address barriers to engagement and build trusting relationships.

Gender-sensitive Site Analysis:
Develop strategies for gender-sensitive development based on site assessment and engagement, preparing planning documents that showcase insights and address participant feedback.

Design Support:
Support the preparation of design access statements and design codes, and work with your design team to translate learnings into design proposals.

Collaboration with Local Planning Authority:
Assist in working with local planning authorities, showcasing the benefits of this approach to the wider area and how this meets local planning policy requirements.
