Dr. May East delves into the intricate web of symbiotic relationships between women and the cities they inhabit and thrive in. She ponders the question: what would cities look like if designed by women? Moreover, she explores how this design (or redesign) could contribute to the realization of regenerative urban neighborhoods. In her book, What if Women Designed the City?, Dr. East brings forth a unique perspective on urban development by amplifying the voices of local women from diverse countries and backgrounds. This insightful work unveils numerous untapped potentials rooted in the distinct characteristics of their neighborhoods. The book builds upon the fundamental belief that women possess a significant contribution to make in urban planning decisions and their implementation. By doing so, they can enrich and enhance urban environments, particularly their own communities.
Through in-depth walking interviews with 274 women, Dr. East identifies 33 leverage points that can empower urban planners, policymakers, practitioners, and communities to intervene in urban planning systems. These leverage points aim to make cities greener, more inclusive, more livable, and even poetic. By leveraging these points, cities can be transformed into vibrant and sustainable spaces that reflect the needs and aspirations of their inhabitants.
Dr. East's book offers a valuable roadmap for urban planners, policymakers, and communities seeking to create more equitable and sustainable cities. It encourages a reimagining of urban spaces that prioritize the well-being and empowerment of women. By recognizing the unique perspectives and experiences of women, cities can become more inclusive, vibrant, and resilient places for all.
