#PublicSpaces

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

💫Cities for women are #CitiesForAll

The #InternationalWomensDay theme #GivetoGain reminds us that empowering women multiplies impact.

🌸Here are stories of women & girl leaders who embody this daily: shaping public spaces that are safer, accessible & belong to everyone.

[WRI India @WRIIndia]

Clean toilets, well-lit streets, seating & safety aren't just smart design. When cities invest in women’s comfort & dignity in public spaces, benefits ripple outward shaping healthier, inclusive, #LivableNeighborhoods for all.

Worsening #AirQuality isn’t just an urban challenge, it’s a childhood crisis. Children face irreversible health risks from pollution.

Cities must prioritize clean air & family-friendly spaces.

Through #NurturingNeighbourhoods, we’re making it happen 🌱 https://t.co/AOHbZkULfE

Zebra crossing leading to inaccessible, guardrail-ed footpaths at a junction with heavy vehicular traffic in “Smart” Gurgaon.

In a country that still heavily commutes with non-motorised modes of transport, we are so far from creating #streetsforall.
