Archived: This is for the majority: delivering gender-inclusive design in London

Join the authors of Tower Hamlet’s design guide in an interactive event to explore how gender-inclusive design can be practically delivered in London. 

Developed by London Borough Tower Hamlets, Queen Mary University of London and written by Jennie Savage, the gender inclusive design guidance shows how taking an inclusive approach to urban design and planning can help create socially prosperous places that work better for everyone. 

Co-designed and imagined with over 500 women and girls, the design guide translates theory into practice, demonstrating how specific interventions can mitigate risks to public health and child development. 

We will bring participants up to date on the findings from the guide and host a cross-sector group of built environment professionals to reflect on its implementation through embodied learning fieldtrips and discussion.

This event is part of our Happy London series – which investigates how the built environment can promote wellbeing, play and community connection with a focus on minoritised communities.

The event programme includes: 1) a field trip demonstrating how gender inclusive design guidance works in practice and 2) an evening panel discussion exploring implications for places and spaces across the capital.
