The planning, implementation, and management of green and inclusive public spaces are essential for improving the well-being of women, girls, and other vulnerable groups, as well as for creating resilient cities and communities.
While this is widely recognized, challenges remain in terms of designing, funding and executing environmentally friendly and gender-responsive urban infrastructure. These challenges include financial and technical limitations within the public sector, necessitating innovative partnerships and solutions to mobilize resources and enhance design and construction processes.
This event will delve into financial instruments within both the private and public sectors that support cities in implementing green and gender-sensitive public spaces and infrastructure.
It will showcase Cities Alliance and partners’ examples from South Asia and the MENA regions, such as municipal investment projects in Tunisia and a new gender and climate-related programme in Nepal.
