The Her City Project is promoting female-led inclusive urban planning and design for more sustainable public spaces

Her City Kampala was implemented by the women-led, youth-serving and community-focused organisation HADE (Holistic Actions for Development and Empowerment) with support from Dreamtown. Together with additional partners and funding from DANIDA, the project was enrolled in the informal settlement Kamwanyi during 9 months in 2023.

Using the Her City Toolbox, a rooftop in Kamwanyi was co-designed with young women and girls from the community. The project presents a pathway to overcome the unequal access to urban space, in which urban citizens and local civil society are supported to take lead and inspire formal planning actors to include more diverse perspectives in decision making. With a focus on including young women and girls from informal settlements, the project has re-thought, co-planned and designed a more sustainable public space together. The project explores and promotes female-led inclusive urban planning and design in Kampala.  Read more........https://hercity.unhabitat.org/kampala?fbclid=IwAR1HwZ5EyGAQjTsvGYsMLcDdXU4T867Sd4cDIhtRJymIIXBbM9AvezPFmW8
