How can city planners, designers, developers and authorities support integrated gender perspective in urban planning?

According to a survey conducted for UN Women UK, 71 per cent of women of all ages in the UK said they had experienced sexual harassment in public spaces.

When the murder of Sarah Everard led many people to speak out about an endemic culture of harassment, abuse and violence against women in the UK, the role that public space and its design plays in terms of the prevention of gender-based violence came to the forefront of discussion.

Chaired by Leanne Tritton, the founder and managing director of PR company ING Media, the panel was made up of Amy Lamé, Night Czar, Office of the Mayor of London; Stephanie Barton, Consultant at WSP, Professor Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster; and Satu Streatfield, Specialist Associate of Night-time and Lighting at Publica.
