Lecture_Fair Shared Cities: Gender Mainstreaming Towards More Equitable Cities

Where and why women do not feel safe after dark? How difficult can become a normal transition of the road for the elderly? The lecture is devoted to the idea of the city, which is fair for all: this idea brings together visible examples from more than 60 pilot projects of various scale, aimed at improving the quality of life of marginalized groups in Vienna. We'll talk about the different awareness of the urban environment of users, their needs, and, as a result, the implementation of this knowledge in decision-making.

As stated by architecture theoretician Helena Doudova in her recent article: Czech women architects, where do you go?(2015), although feminist tradition in Czech Republic is not really a strong one, the confidence of the new generation of young women architects can be recognized. Nevertheless she keeps asking whether this will be reflected on institutional and practical level too? 

Although we suspect many women are practicing architecture without official authorization, there are no clear relevant data. We keep tracking numbers of the authorized ones - members of Czech Chamber of Architects. They create 22 % of all authorized members (WPS Prague 2015). Since 2008 women make more than 50 % of graduates on Czech faculties of architecture. We are left with questions: Where do we lose women in these professions? Why is it so and how can we overcome these obstacles?
