Because urban planning is often gender-blind, failing to recognise or respond to the different ways in which women and men experience urban spaces, a female perspective on urban planning is essential to achieve an environment that is comfortable and secure for all. This is why a training module has been put together on gender-inclusive planning and design. The gender-inclusive training module when launched will be a training module to be used to train young planners in planning for a gender-inclusive space as this would encourage the inclusivity of women and vulnerable groups in urban development in Nigeria and Africa.
The Gender Inclusive Training Module has been formulated, please see here a copy of the module.
