| Dear Professional Liverpool Member, We are pleased to invite you to attend one of our upcoming interactive and thought-provoking insight sessions exploring Arup’s new research publication ‘Cities Alive: Designing Cities that Work for Women’ with city stakeholders from across the North. Developed in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the University of Liverpool, the recently released research publication provides practical and actionable guidance for city decision-makers and built environment professionals on gender-responsive urban planning, informed and supported by a global catalogue of women's lived experiences in cities. An opportunity to learn, reflect and discuss equitable cities Each event will be hosted within an Arup office and will consist of collaborative and engaging sessions including:

All events will be framed as relaxed discussions and attendees will not be asked to share any information they are not comfortable with. We understand that discussions around gender-based discrimination can be challenging and there is no obligation to stay for the whole duration. I hope you can join us to explore the challenges faced by women and girls in urban areas and help us to shape fairer and more equitable cities.
