Abstract:This talk explores cutting-edge research and projects that are revolutionizing our perception of gender in the construction industry and built environment. It addresses the systemic obstacles that women encounter in these fields, while also highlighting proven strategies to promote gender equality. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how gender-transformative approaches can lead to more inclusive spaces, better working conditions, and increased sustainability in the built environment. Through innovative design solutions, policy interventions, and community engagement strategies, we will chart a path towards a more inclusive future where everyone feels safe, empowered, and valued. This talk aims to inspire both academics and practitioners to challenge conventional norms and strive for a built environment that authentically represents the diversity of our society.
