It's been so inspiring to meet and work with so many diverse leaders and organizations committed to making public life more inclusive and the systems that shape it more equitable. I am deeply grateful.
Thank you to all who have supported us over the years. We are reorganizing, and as of April 1, will have a different structure. mailchi.mp/2c5c7c643f41/2018…

.@AdaColau's government is supporting 36 nightlife venues in Barcelona to prevent and report sexual harassment and violence.
This is what a feminist city looks like! 🎤🥂🙅♀️

Looking forward to hosting @WomenLedCities tomorrow with co-founders @LittleGiantLGC and our Project Manager @think_katrina. Inequity in design isn't just about representation, it impacts how women and girls live, travel, and thrive in urban environments. #womenledcities

More reasons why we need #womenledcities:
This article offers an explanation of how women being considered in planning decisions can increase mobility for all by addressing concerns of physical safety, ease of movement and reduction of street harassment @WomenLedCities @UN_Women crosscut.com/2018/11/its-tim…

"Women in New York City spend an average $26 to $50 extra on transportation per month for safety reasons, and up to $100 each month if they are their family’s main caregiver—as much as $1,200 more than men each year." wired.com/story/nyc-public-t…
Another reason we need #womenledcities: "Research and advocacy group @TransitCenter reports that women are just 39 percent of the transit workforce, and only three of the 20 biggest American transit agencies have women at the helm."
Representation matters.

#womenledcities embraces a shift from fear to compassion, a redefining of power, and true co-creation with members of the community who have been left out of the city-making progress.
How diversity and a shift in power dynamic can bring more inclusive, human centric design. “Great design will emerge from the intersection of ideas, experiences, and identities.” @BEAPrairies @WomenLedCities @WomenInUrbanism fastcompany.com/90243114/des…
Ready for #womenledcities? So are we.

'The sense of a lack of safety is a key factor that limits women’s right to the city and that is partly caused by physical aspects of the environment' @JaniceLukes @jen_keesmaat @WomenLedCities @WomenInUrbanism @Mayor_Bowman @JenZoratti lameva.barcelona.cat/bcnmetr… – at Winnipeg, Manitoba
Leaving Portage and Main closed is a safety issue, especially for women @ night in #Winnipeg. Safest crossings are though private bldgs that close at 6. Public staircases have no sightlines to the street. I'd rather take my chances running across traffic at night. #PortageandMain

Urban policy makers have an important role to play in ensuring women's safety.
Including women in the urban planning process will ensure that women's needs are factored into urban planning. #inclusivecities @urbanistasuk @WomenLedCities @WomeninPlanning @WomenInUrbanism xitter.cf/healing_pl/status/9864…
