GDUS - Gender, Diversity and Urban Sustainability
What is GDUS?
- GDUS is an informal network of scholars and practitioners in urban planning. Its aim is to bring together work carried out relating to gender and diversity issues to urban studies and planning theory.
- GDUS represents different disciplines such as spatial planning, urban design, environmental psychology, landscape planning and social policy within the field of sustainable spatial development.
- Each member brings in experience of either research or practice in a gender aware approach.
- The network operates through a virtual community hosted by Maison des Sciences de l’Homme Tours (Fr) and through half-yearly seminars.
Objectives of the GDUS-network
- establishing and expanding a network of people actively involved in “Gender, Diversity and Urban Sustainability”
- presenting studies performed in various European countries on initiatives against gender discrimination in spatial policies regarding public space, housing, mobility and environmental sustainability.
- evaluating existing practices and highlighting key factors that can be reproduced in other sites.
- exchanging this knowledge with practitioners, policy makers and citizens groups.
- constructing a theoretical framework that allows integration of gender-insights into spatial planning systems and theory.
- promoting gender and diversity issues in spatial development at all levels of policy making: from EU level (ESDP, SDS, research and development Programs) to regional, urban and local level.
