Working in the fields of mobility and transport has really opened my eyes towards how this world is not always made for all #accessforall #transportpoverty #mobilityinequality #genderedmobility #genderinplanning #womeninplanning. Looking forward to being challenged and inspired soon at this virtual conference!

Women & Planning Conference 2024: From Theory to Practice 1st – 2nd July 2024, Cloth Hall, Leeds Commonwealth Women in Planning Network are proud to be a supporters of the Leeds Beckett University Women & Planning Conference 2024: From Theory to Practice. Join us in Leeds on 1st and 2nd July 2024. About the conference: The ways in which we can better consider the needs of women and girls when planning our towns and cities is a subject that has been gathering increasing interest both in planning academia and practice. Questions are being asked as to what planning can do to make practice more inclusive, and planners are increasingly interested in how this can be applied to their own work. It is in this context that the Women and Planning: From Theory to Practice conference welcomes academics and practitioners to come to Leeds, UK and explore this from 1 – 2 July 2024. The conference is kindly sponsored by the Royal Town Planning Institute and supported by ISOCARP - International Society of City and Regional Planners, Commonwealth Women in Planning Network, Women in Planning, Women in Property and BAME Planners Network.

"The motherhood penalty should be addressed in every architecture practice" Architecture needs to get serious about addressing the issues that are causing?women?to leave the profession, writes Grace Choi. Excellent review by Dezeen of new book Inclusion Emergency by Grace Choi Hannah Durham we are delighted to have played a small part in this book, read more below: Anyone tired of seeing a lack of diversity at senior levels of practice??Why do we gradually lose women after they have children and why is progress to change this pattern so painfully slow? Bias and discrimination in architecture take various forms throughout a female architect's working life, intersecting with and compounded by factors such as race, disability, sexual orientation and social demographics. We need to examine the systemic obstacles that women encounter, which worsen with age and are often ingrained in tradition and habit. How can we create an environment that enables women to stay in the profession for longer? Amanda Moore Karolina Alicja Stephenson Laura Whitney Lucie Dick Nancy Hargreaves https://lnkd.in/epPrQyWj

I know we've made some practical inroads to support architects who are parents, but have these really had a positive impact on the career path for women in architecture? Some sobering thoughts from the UK in this recent Dezeen article... https://lnkd.in/gNXacUYt #diversity #equality #womeninarchitecture

When Claudette Soto, LEED AP—architect, structural engineer, and president of owner’s representative and construction management firm baso—walks on to projects, she’s often mistaken for someone’s admin. In situations where people know she’s the owner of the company, they assume that she is an acting steward for her husband (she’s not). Only 10 percent of women make up the construction industry nationwide, and Soto is part of an even smaller pool of women of color in leadership. The entrepreneur has more than fifty clients with projects totaling over $100 million, and she built Chicago’s only Latina-owned representative and construction management firm with the intention of diversifying the industry. “I formed baso, Ltd. not only to support the Black and Brown community, but also to help retain talent in this industry,” says Soto, who is also the founder of VAMOS, a grassroot organization that introduces science, technology, engineering, arts, and math careers to underserved middle school students. “Because women and minorities are usually pushed out, what I try to do is build them up. My mission is to help them navigate the challenges of being underestimated, criticized, and judged, so they can emerge stronger.” Discover her inspiring journey in our "In Plain Sight" series: https://hubs.la/Q02n00Kh0 Every day, in every part of society, Latinos make an impact. That impact is noteworthy, yet it does not appear in “mainstream” media. Hispanic Executive’s “In Plain Sight” series focuses on owning our narrative and highlighting efforts by Latinos that both shape and guide the United States—efforts that are in plain sight. #HispanicExecMag #InPlainSight #LatinoExcellence #Empowerment

Where are the women in the architectural curriculum? Asked Sumita Singha OBE ?? at the @RIBA Interface 2 workshop. Why are women so underrepresented in the profession? Only 31% of architects in the uk are women. A range of reasons from the way women are treated, being the prime carer, and of course salaries. Our own Part 3 employment survey PASEO shows the extent of this gap. Our recent survey shows a gap. Sumita called for an audit of teaching staff, researchers and students; mentoring; and represented in publications.

Do areas with low access to opportunities suffer from a lack of transit service, lack of opportunities, or both? We propose a four-step framework to dissect the elements of #place and #mobility in #access through a lens focused on #equality. Introducing measures of Spatial Inequality of Transit Services (SITS) and Spatial Inequality of Opportunities (SIO), our framework: (i) identifies the spatial equality of #transit service through the lens of access, (ii) disentangles the intertwined components of place and mobility, and (iii) incorporates principles of social justice into transportation planning. Uncover how the interplay between transit networks and land use patterns contributes to access inequality in our recent publication, co-authored with my tireless student Fatemeh Janatabadi! #urbanplanning #transportationequity #socialjustice #accessibility #transportationplanning #publictransit #transitservice #landusepolicy George Mason University - College of Science George Mason University - College of Engineering and Computing https://lnkd.in/eKJtwMst

Benches play a vital role in our public lives, offering opportunities for relaxation and social interaction. Since 2021, Dr. Julia King and Olivia Theocharides-Feldman have led the Young Researchers-in-Residence program at LSE Cities at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). During their research into the use of public space by teenage girls, they discovered that benches, often used as hangout spots, are both essential and contentious for this demographic. In this article, they share some key findings and insights concerning how parks and public spaces can better cater for teenage girls?? #publicspace #landscapearchitecture #urbanspace #inclusivedesign
