Going beyond policies, our dedication extends to creating safe and inclusive urban spaces for women and teenage girls. This not only addresses their specific needs but also positively impacts other vulnerable groups. Urban designs often narrow their focus, leading to inequality. A lack of female representation in urban planning perpetuates social and economic barriers. Design solutions, such as well-lit areas and improved signage, can effectively address safety concerns for women in public spaces. Moreover, considering women's preferences in consumer spaces can enhance economic viability.

By involving women in participatory planning, we aim to create multigender and multigenerational environments, fostering inclusivity and uplifting society. Our goal is clear – to empower cities. Explore our blog on reshaping urban spaces for safety and inclusivity - The Overlooked Half | Arcadis.
