What does gender perspective contribute with the urban planning?

Abstract

What is the meaning of gender urban perspective? How can we make urban planning and urban projects that have gender mainstreaming? The main objective of urban planning should be the fact of being able to enjoy inclusive cities that take into account the diverse population that inhabits them, thus making the city a human right for all. To think about urban space for all is to do it from the difference between people but not from the inequality, the difference between women and men, between classes, origins, culture, religions etc, placing in equal condition all the demands without excluding the experiences of people and without taking any decision by ourselves, consider this experiences as the fundamental source for urban planning decisions.
