The Toolkit
This toolkit is an introduction to gender-inclusive mobility planning, meant to serve as a resource for designers, planners, and policymakers seeking to integrate gender-inclusive mobility into the planning and design process. The toolkit aims to collect and distill existing information in order to:
Understand the Problem – How transport and mobility systems systematically underserve women, gender minorities, and girls.
Provide Practical Solutions – How gender-inclusive planning can be applied at each stage of the urban planning and design process.
Discuss Real-World Applications – Case studies from municipalities in the European Union, United Kingdom, and United States featuring topics like human- centered design, safe streets, and the 15 minute city.
The Practitioner Guide is a condensed version of the full toolkit, designed for users who need a concise review. It highlights the key points and recommendations, allowing readers to quickly grasp and apply key guidance without reading the entire toolkit.
