Description

This training set introduces the links between gender and mobility and explores ways of integrating a genderresponsive practice along the SUMP/NUMP planning cycle. Gender is one of the most significant determinants of mobility choices, yet traditionally overlooked in mobility planning. For sustainable urban mobility to succeed, practitioners need to take gender differences into account. Gender-responsive mobility planning strives for equal access to our communities, services, and employment – the power to shape one's life.

• Understand the importance of gender for mobility behaviour
• Discover ways of integrating gender step by step along the planning cycle
• Reflect on lessons learned from other cities for gender mainstream in mobility planning

1. Why include gender in mobility planning?
2. Steps for integrating gender along the four phases of SUMP cycle
3. Case study examples for each phase with a global scope.
