The Good City: Making Space for Girls

If we are to create truly inclusive and welcoming cities and public space - we need to consider the needs of all users.

Teenage girls are an often overlooked group, leaving them without places where they feel welcome or valued. Join the RIAS and the Landscape Institute for an evening of expert debate and conversation to learn how urban and landscape design might better support teenage girls and create more inclusive public spaces for all.

Imogen and Natalia will be joined for the expert panel discussion by Rachel Smith, Glasgow City Council’s Senior Manager for Greenspace and Biodiversity and Anna Gaffney of A Place in Childhood, a charity that champion children’s involvement in placemaking and Heather Claridge, Group Manager for Strategic Spacial Planning, Glasgow City Region.
