3F. DIGITALISATION AND SMART CITIES

22 EIGE (2015), Work indicators in the EU , available at: https://eige.europa.eu/gender-equality-index/2015/ domain/work

Digitalisation brings the potential for new technology, data collection and analysis to improve services and liveability for city dwellers and new opportunities to learn and act in favour of gender equality. However, smart city agendas and platforms using open data technology carry both risks and potentials for women and girls. At the EU level, men represent over eight in ten workers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) occupations.22 This lack of diversity in the digital workforce means that women s input is missing from the design and coding of tech solutions.

An important part of making cities more equal is looking at how technology is impacting urban life through smart cities and intelligent communities. While gender analyses for smart city initiatives are new, their foundation rests on the same basis as all other gender mainstreaming approaches: gender-disaggre- gated data. A better understanding of who is using which services and who is affected by which decisions and having diverse representation in the workforce and around the table can help future-oriented developments build in equality principles from the ground up.
