Places for All - Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion
This session has the objective of raising awareness of key issues and debates in and around the
subject of diversity, equality and inclusion, alerting the cohort towards practical outcomes. There
is a high degree of overlap between planning and urban design for sustainable infrastructure, but
there are also divergences for which one cannot substitute the other. The UN SDG’s, which cover
gender and spatial development will be introduced. The role of the SMEs in the procurement
process, specifically looking at the women owned and led businesses will be explored. The
module will focus how diversity, equality and inclusion can have a positive impact on government
performance; how to promote a culture of inclusion within your organization and how to make a
positive impact in the planning and/or procurement process.
