On the 3rd of March, the network of Italian Cultural Institutes in the Nordic Countries (Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm) together with the Italian Embassy in Sweden is promoting ‘Equal Cities’, an online conference dedicated to gender equality in contemporary urban planning.

The event targets architects, city managers, strategic advisors, elected representatives, stakeholders from different public agencies, and of course, the civic society.

Equal Cities will be held online, streamed live via the social media of the Italian Cultural Institutes (Facebook, Instagram) on the 3rd of March. The video of the webinar as well as the conference proceedings will be available from the following day on the Italian Cultural Institutes´ websites. The interventions will address the issue of gender equality as a prerequisite for the well-being and the prosperity of the cities. Urban equity in cities can be an important indicator to measure the complexity of gender equality issues at large and, based on the EU policy framework, it represents an important factor in monitoring progress of gender equality across the EU over time.

The panel will be moderated by Lennart Ploom, archivist and director of Stockholm City Archives – Stadsarkivet, and will host:

  • Karin Carlsson, PhD History at Stockholm University
  • Rebecka Lennartsson, PhD in Ethnology and Head of Research at Stadsmuseum Stockholm
