The Business Case for Gender and Cities (English)

Cities flourish when all of their residents have the services, infrastructure, and support to succeed, and municipal managers are responsible for supporting these diverse stakeholders. As financial institutions increase their collaboration and investment in municipalities, gender should be a key consideration for ensuring that all inhabitants and the cities they live in have the maximum opportunity for growth. Ensuring that women and men can equally access services can be a catalytic force for the economic, social, and political participation that is at the heart of urban living and growth.
