Think Tank Talk - How to make global cities more inclusive? - Full Recording

Today, the share of the global population living in cities is 75%. While the population in cities or urban areas grows sometimes in an exponential way, the existing facilities do not always suit the needs of the newcomers and inequalities grow or are reinforced as a result. For many years, urban inequalities were mainly dominated by a focus on cities of the southern hemisphere. With the pandemic, light has been shed on how cities of the "Global North" could also experience blatant inequalities. Nevertheless, inequalities are not only of economic nature, but also social, with various discriminations on the grounds of gender, race or religion, which have often been overlooked in the past years. In line with SDG n°11, "Sustainable cities and communities", this Think Tank Talk will explore the demographic challenges and inequalities faced by wealthy cities and contribute to the global discussions on how to reduce such disparities and discriminations in urban areas, with an emphasis on gender-based discriminations. To address these questions, the Think Tank Hub is pleased to welcome Giulia Maci, Urban Specialist and Lead of the Cities for Women Program, at Cities Alliance.
