Local Authorities

If you want your borough to feel safer and more inclusive for women and girls, we can help. We engage with local women and girls to understand their needs and aspirations and assist you in creating gender-sensitive strategies and places. We also deliver training to build capacity within your team.

How we can help:

Evidence Base and inform your strategies
Using participatory-led approaches we engage with diverse local women and girls to gather borough-wide data and build a strong local evidence base. This helps you informing your strategies, Local Plans, SPDs and enabling targeted actions to create truly equitable spaces for everyone

Urban Planning
We can shape your planning policies, prepare handbooks, planning toolkits, design guidance, and supplementary planning documents to help define gender-sensitive planning procedures for planning officers, developers, and design teams to follow with ease

Gender-Sensitive Action PlanningSmall changes in leadership, partnerships, and commitments can greatly address gender inequality in your borough. We help you identify quick wins, like training leaders as gender champions and establishing the right external partners to drive change

Training
We deliver training to your officers on gender-sensitive urban design and planning principles. This training empowers officers, including policy and development managers, infrastructure planners, and members of the Planning Decision Committee, to successfully deliver change.
