This year, #WomensEqualityDay, commemorating passage of the 19th Amendment and women’s right to vote, has special significance, as the first woman of color is nominated for president by a major party. Women’s equality can take many different forms—from representation at the executive level (and every level) to pay equity to one’s sense of freedom and safety merely walking down the street. As an organization founded and sustained through women leadership, we strive for gender equality in its many forms. On this #WomensEqualityDay, we’re sharing a recent article by Associate Principal Meghan Skornia, AICP that explores the social indicators of walkability and what we as planners and engineers can do to improve gender equality in our streets and public spaces. https://lnkd.in/gGSE9mzx
