We were joined by Alex Baum, Programme and Systems Manager at BYCS – an Amsterdam-based global NGO supporting community-led urban change through cycling.
Alex’s keynote focused on how to create bicycle friendly cities for women and carers, as well as introduced their new Toolkit addressing why and how policymakers and practitioners can encourage care journey uptake. It particularly targets mothers and other women who care for children, who perform a considerable and sometimes disproportionate amount of caregiving labour, as well as trips.
A panel discussion then investigated urban mobility through a gender lens, with an emphasis on how women experience public space and active transportation, and built on the subject by looking at gender inequalities in urban cycling, public space, and care infrastructure.
This is the recording of an event held at the LSE on Thursday, 13 July 2023, hosted by Urban95 Academy at LSE Cities.
