From street naming conventions to toilets and public spaces, to participatory planning processes, how is gender represented within our urban space? What can we learn from cities at the forefront of gender mainstreaming practices such as Vienna and Barcelona? And now, can the promises of a “smart” city contribute to reducing the existing inequalities and developing real gender-inclusive cities?
