ABSTRACT

Spatial planning, transport, and mobility are involved in new challenges for various groups today and the authors need to address the challenges in ways which are both equally sustainable and climate friendly. That is, the approach of governance for integrated and coordinated transport planning; a holistic view on strategies for increased sustainable travel and transport; to focus on sustainable mobility practices related to culture, norms and attitudes; and to identify and enhance knowledge and skills among citizens. Gender smart mobility stands as a critical paradigm, which highlights the structural inequalities in terms of privilege and disadvantages related to gender and other categories in transport and mobility. It opens a policy window for Gender Smart Mobility to be fully integrated into future gender equality and transport strategies. Accordingly gender smart mobility should meet the following requirements of being: Inclusive, Affordable, Effective, Attractive, and Sustainable.
