Join internationally renowned urbanist and UNITAR Fellow, May East for a workshop inspired by her acclaimed book What if Women Designed the City? Together we will explore how cities can be greener, wilder, more liveable, co-evolving and poetic.Rooted in the richness of women’s everyday life experiences, May’s work offers a compelling perspective on urban development through the eyes of women from diverse countries and backgrounds, revealing untapped potential grounded in the uniqueness of their neighbourhoods. Drawing on in-depth walking interviews with 274 women, her book presents 33 leverage points for how policymakers, urban professionals, and communities can intervene in planning systems - so that cities work better for women, for girls and for everyone.The conversation will be structured in three movements:1. The Context — From Deadlines to Lifelines2. Methodologies — Not Using Old Maps to Explore New Territories3. Identifying Leverage Points — Small Actions, System-Wide ImpactThe session will promote thoughtful discussion and exchange and will be followed by refreshment and networking in BDP’s Grosvenor Building studio._________________________________________________________________________________________May East is an international urbanist specialised in nature-positive and gender-sensitive cities.
