Online Session: Leaving no women* and no one behind in sustainable urban development

Join us on September 24 to explore how women, girls and marginalized groups can be included in urban planning and construction processes in the Global South. Register here for this informative session and be part of a discussion on how women* and girls can be included in decision-making processes, be part of the design processes of their neighbourhoods and contribute to gender equality. Feel free to share the event with your networks and partners. 

The event is part of a Peer Learning series conducted by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in cooperation with Cities Alliance, ICLEI, UN-Habitat, Slum Dwellers International, the Centre for Affordable Housing Finance Africa, the African Union for Housing Finance and the City Diplomacy Lab. Throughout 2024, the 5-part series will focus on practical approaches to sustainable urba nplanning, construction, and financing from the subnational level.
