3 Women Promoting Urban Innovations

A recent initiative called "HerCity: The Guide to Women's Participation in Urban Planning," published by UN-Habitat provides methods and tools for cities to seek the incorporation and participation of women in planning. The data collected show that strategies can work in the long term in sustainable cities and societies because the female gender plans and designs emphasize diversity and different requirements.

The findings indicate that the initiative supports urban growth from a female perspective and helps implement various approaches that provide flexibility and accessibility among professional women and citizens.

On the other hand, a report called "Women and Innovation 2022" reveals that it analyzes gender gaps in the innovative world to guide women's advances. In the same way, the Council of Ministers and Morant approved the Strategic Plan for Effective Equality between Women and Men 2022 – 2025, with some positive trends reflected in favor of women.
