A City Made by Men for Men

Author Yves Raibaud

GENRE Essay
Keywords Positivity
Urban spaces may seem diverse, but they are far from being egalitarian.

Men's names on plaques at every street corner. Leisure activities that primarily benefit boys. Gender-insensitive transportation services. And let's not forget the culture of harassment. Several recent studies confirm this. The author describes how the city reinforces inequalities between women and men and creates new ones, while also showing how it is possible to make it more egalitarian. Cities are for all genders, and doesn't improving women's lives make things better for everyone?
