Last week, No City For Women?, a workshop for Design and Architecture students from Chandigarh and Jaipur, gathered a lot of attention and generated vivid discussions. The conversation goes on:
On World Architecture Day, speak up for equal, accessible, inclusive public spaces! 4th October also marks World Habitat Day, a day to “remind the world that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our cities and towns” (UN).
Starting today, unpack with us the complexity of equality in public spaces, through an intersectional feminist perspective. Participate in the #NoCityForWomen contest to inspire changes in YOUR city!
