Previous seminar series
Whether as workers or residents, London's population is directly affected by urban design and 'master' planning. Women remain poorly represented in the professions most active in urban design - architecture and planning - which means that women live, work and relax in spaces planned and designed by men ('Women in Architecture,' RIBA / UWE, 2003). Funded by the ESRC 'Capital designs: women and planning in contemporary London' brought together academics, postgraduate students and practitioners at six seminars to investigate the gendered impacts of government policy, private and voluntary sector initiatives, and public / private partnerships on planning, architecture and urban design. In 2005-6, two half-day seminars focused on 'Healthy Planning and Design' and 'Public Space in the City.' The series ended with a one-day seminar in June 2006 on 'Women, Planning and Design: International Perspectives.' Half-day seminars were held in 2004-5 on walking in the city; suburban regeneration; and designs for school and play.
