GENDER EQUAL CITIES 2022 URBACT, June 2022

Authors

Acknowledgments

This report has been a collaborative effort which was only possible due to the contributions and motivation of many people. The authors would especially like to thank URBACT's Programme Expert Sally Kneeshaw and Nuala Morgan, from the URBACT Secretariat, for their valuable and insightful contributions. This report would also not have been possible without Jaimie Just of CEMR, whose wealth of knowledge and case studies informed many chapters and whose commentary helped us bring a fresh approach to Gender Equal Cities. The authors would like to thank all of the case studies mentioned in this book for generously sharing their work with us.

We would like in particular to thank the GenderedLandscape partners, especially Eleftheria Tziouvara of Trikala (Greece), Linda Gustafsson of Umeå (Sweden), Oriol Gibert at Barcelona Activa (Spain) and Nathalie Debord at CdA La Rochelle (France), Ander Bergara of Emakunde, Magnus Jacobson of SKR, and Florencia Andreola and Azzurra Muzzonigro from the Milan Gender Atlas. We would also like to thank the URBACT community which responded to our calls for case studies, initiatives, reports and other materials. There were many cases which we couldn't use, which only demonstrates how widespread the work in gender equality in cities has come. At last, we thank the URBACT Secretariat team for their ongoing support.
