International Women's Day 2024: When Women Design Cities

Join Inner West Council on March 7 for a night of music, entertainment and conversation to celebrate International Women’s Day 2024.

When Women Design Cities #CountHerIn

How should play, joy and accessibility be factored into urban planning? What would our cities look like if the needs of children, women and gender diverse people were prioritised in their design? What happens when women design the places we live?

Our panel, facilitated by journalist and broadcaster Farz Edraki, will talk gender and inclusivity in our cities, showcasing the unique, diverse perspectives that women bring to designing and enlivening urban spaces.

With:

Karen Bevan, CEO of Full Stop Australia 

Shannon Foster, D’harawal Saltwater Knowledge Keeper, educator, artist and founder of bangawarra 

Prof Nicole Gurran, Chair of Urbanism at the University of Sydney

Natalia Krysiak, architect and founder of Cities for Play

Dr Zahra Nasreen, Postdoctoral Housing Researcher focused on shared housing, migrants housing and housing informality


Doors open at 5:45pm, kicking off with live music by Miriam Lieberman, followed by comedian and writer Katie Little's take on women in cities. 

Drinks and refreshments provided by Two Good Co.

Tickets are free, bookings essential.
