In celebration of International Women’s Day 2021 #ChooseToChallenge, Cyber Agora 4 convened ten women planners from across the global north and south to share their experience as women leaders in Planning and Placemaking. A recent RTPI study highlights evidence that a glass ceiling still exists despite progress that has been made, and reminds us: “Lack of gender diversity affects not only the way we design and plan, but also who we design and plan for.” The pandemic crisis has further exposed this gender inequality, and many women are facing serious setbacks as part of increased social inequality overall. Participants were invited to an open Cyber Agora discussion with the panel of Speakers to dive further into the state and future of the planning profession, the importance of women in leadership, global differences, and gender related barriers and pathways.
