Fair Shared Green And Recreational Spaces Guidelines For Gender-Responsive And Inclusive Design

Fair Shared Green And Recreational Spaces
Guidelines For Gender-Responsive And Inclusive Design

Green areas are fundamental elements of the urban fabric that help define spaces and contribute to the quality of the environment, as well as social and economic aspects of sustainability. Green spaces have the potential to accentuate the visual image of a country, creating places where people want to live, work, and visit. They enable different groups to mix and integrate and encourage social exchanges.

Since it is in limited supply, there are competing demands for the space for different purposes. Gender-responsive planning and design contribute to decisions on how space can be allocated to different functions. It prioritizes the needs of people of all ages and abilities, and in their different work, family, and care-giving roles.

The responsibility for parks and recreation areas lies with the Department of Environment and Green Spaces of the Tbilisi City Hall (Box 1), who prepared these guidelines supported by a trust fund from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
