FOREWORD

Since the publishing of our first Gender Equal Cities report in 2019, gender equality has gained traction in public policy in Europe, reaching all the way to the European Commission itself. In 2019, the European Parliament elected Ursula von der Leyen as the first female Commission president. Under her direction, the European Commission has made a specific commitment to a gender-equal Europe which includes binding pay transparency measures and an EU-wide directive proposal to combat violence against women. Support from all levels of government is crucial in ensuring that women and men, girls and boys can freely and equally participate in society. At URBACT, we are committed to supporting local authorities incorporate gender equality into their municipal policies. This second edition of the Gender Equal Cities Report builds on the pioneering work carried out in 2018-19 demonstrating how cities can lead the way in developing gender-sensitive policies. This version of the report again presents good practices from cities that are making strides in gender equality in a wide range of topics, from transportation to employment and now includes clear calls to action for cities to follow. I am particularly proud to have been able to prioritise this topic for URBACT. It has been my privilege to see how the authors have championed progress made and offered support to build cities awareness and capacity to act where needed. At URBACT, we are convinced that, in order to create a fairer, more liveable and prosperous society, gender equality while not the only priority has to be part of all policies. That s why we have included gender as one of the key priorities for the next round of the programme, URBACT IV, which will run until 2027. Many thanks to all of the cities and programmes who shared their experiences with us. You are the bedrock on which this report is built! I look forward to seeing how cities use and learn from this report, and to see how many new cases emerge from it for the next version.
