It aims to assess how cities incorporate gender perspectives in their urban development plans. The study analyses the urban development plans of Mexico's 30 most populated cities and their policies in terms of implementing a gender perspective. The findings reveal a mixed implementation, with cities acknowledging gender-specific needs at a general level but lacking comprehensive integration and meaningful participation.
The research emphasises the need to consider gender inclusion in an intersectional manner and highlights the importance of strong policies that prioritise gender perspectives in urban planning. The implications highlight the role of gender planning in creating inclusive cities. While some cities have made progress, many still lack a gender perspective. Active involvement and empowerment of women and marginalised groups are crucial, as recognising their inclusion alone is insufficient. Adaptation and effective solutions are needed to address evolving gender-specific needs and emerging challenges within urban planning. (Less)
