Description
Promoting gender equality in urban projects is crucial for creating inclusive cities that cater to all residents. This study by the European Investment Bank (EIB) highlights Bologna's efforts to integrate gender perspectives into urban planning. Through a four-step process—assessing perspectives, reviewing data for gender gaps, designing gender-inclusive projects, and disseminating results—this report showcases best practices and insights. Focusing on public buildings, sustainable urban mobility, and parks, the initiative aims to enhance quality of life, boost economic empowerment, and ensure social inclusion. By leveraging gender-specific data and engaging stakeholders, Bologna sets a benchmark for European cities. This publication is essential for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone committed to gender equality and sustainable urban development.
