Conducted in collaboration with the Cairo Safe City and Safe Public Spaces Programme, the project explored three neighbourhoods through the central question: who builds our cities, and for whom? This inquiry foregrounded the role of gender in shaping urban experiences. Research activities, led by urban scholars from Northumbria University, CLUSTER, and UN Women, engaged both online and on the ground with diverse communities in Zamalek, Al Manial, and As Sabityyah.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project began with an online cross-cultural exchange between Egyptian and UK students of architecture and urban planning, aimed at challenging rigid assumptions about gender inequality. In a collaborative mapping workshop, students from both countries paired up to trace how they navigate the city in their daily lives. A seemingly simple prompt\u2014<em>\u201cWhat goes through your mind when you step out at night?\u201d<\/em>\u2014quickly revealed the complexity of gendered experiences and the multiplicity of identities, with the group brainstorming board filling within minutes. While Figure 1 illustrates clear differences in students\u2019 personal experiences based on gender, the striking similarities between Egyptian and UK participants were equally revealing.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"428\" class=\"wp-image-2325\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-1.png 924w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-1-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-1-768x356.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br \/>Figure 1. A collective response on &#8216;What do you think about when you step out at night?&#8217; by Egyptian and UK students during the online mapping workshop. (Gender-inclusive Cities, 2022)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seemingly simple questions\u2014<em>Is my phone charged so I can contact friends and family? Should I tell my family when I go out? What can I wear?<\/em>\u2014formed the starting point for the research team\u2019s qualitative exploration of everyday urban life in the UK and Egypt. From these concrete concerns, the study moved step by step into a deeper analysis, carefully tracing how such \u2018local\u2019 gendered challenges are connected to, shaped by, and in turn reshape daily urban experiences. Intersectionality quickly emerged as a central theme. Following the workshop, student pairs shared collaborative reflections on their relationship with their city, which were later presented in a public exhibition. This phase also paved the way for on-ground engagement in Cairo, in which the participating Egyptian students took part over the following months<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Neighbourhood-level interactions and co-planning sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next phase of the project moved into on-street engagement, reaching out directly to people from diverse backgrounds. Over the course of a week in each neighbourhood, the research team\u2014together with local partners and students\u2014visited three selected areas carrying a large city map and asking a simple question: <em>\u201cWhere do you like to go in your city?\u201d<\/em> From school walls to public parks, temples, and mosques, these maps were displayed in public spaces where passers-by could stop and contribute. Within hours, people marked their favourite places\u2014the spots where they felt most comfortable and where they returned time and again, whether alone or with friends and family. Alongside the maps, a ballot chart invited participants to vote on what they value most in a public space: greenery, safety, seating, street food, shopping, freedom, scenic beauty, entertainment, toilets, accessibility, and more.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From these neighbourhood-level discussions, citywide patterns began to emerge, revealing how people from different backgrounds navigate Cairo and which public spaces feel most inclusive. Participants openly shared their gendered experiences and the barriers\u2014physical, social, and economic\u2014that shape their mobility.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In As Sabtiyyah, many women explained that religious spaces or local coffee shops were among the few places they felt \u201callowed\u201d to go, unlike malls or other leisure sites. Women in Zamalek, by contrast, described their neighbourhood as relatively safer than most parts of the city, yet still vulnerable to late-night crime due to the lack of \u201ceyes on the street\u201d in its urban design. Across all four neighbourhoods, women highlighted the clear gender divisions in access to space:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMany things here in Cairo are difficult for women. I don\u2019t feel safe in public transportation unless I use women-only carriages. I hope to see buses cover all of Cairo, not just the popular spots.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEven during the day, I hesitate to walk alone in certain streets. The fear of being stared at or harassed never fully goes away.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI plan my route carefully when taking public transport, avoiding buses or metro lines that feel crowded or poorly monitored.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEven familiar neighbourhoods feel unpredictable at night. Street lighting and open sightlines can make the difference between feeling safe and vulnerable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe see women struggling in all aspects. Even a simple walk down the street exposes them to harassment, verbal or even physical.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCertain public spaces are dominated by men, and it\u2019s hard to feel like you truly belong or can claim that space.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, sexual harassment and violence surfaced as the most pressing fears among women, reflecting the deep gendered power dynamics embedded in Cairo\u2019s spatial design.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"298\" class=\"wp-image-2324\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image.png 902w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/gender-inclusivecities\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-768x254.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Figure 2. The public exhibition of &#8216;Gender-inclusive Cities: How to design the city for ALL?&#8217; which invites the public to share their experiences on the local neighbourhood to people with the power to make change. (Gender-inclusive Cities, 2022)<\/em><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maps and week-long conversations culminated in a public exhibition held over the weekend at a central, open-to-all venue in Cairo. Through placemaking, ordinary urban settings\u2014an underpass, a pavement, the space beneath a metro line, areas around Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations, and the courtyards of cultural spaces\u2014were transformed into vibrant festival grounds. These temporary public forums brought together people from across the city to engage in the project\u2019s discussions, alongside cultural performances and artworks by local artists.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interactive activities invited participants to share their own experiences of the city. These contributions revealed how everyday encounters often involve performances of superiority and deference, and how feelings of belonging\u2014or exclusion\u2014are shaped by gender and class. Such dynamics determine where individuals feel \u201cat home\u201d in Cairo, and how they are perceived and treated across its socially segmented map.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors were also asked to imagine themselves as \u201cmayor for a day,\u201d proposing ideas to make their city more gender-inclusive. The resulting suggestions filled the festival spaces with both powerful and playful visions of urban change. Another activity mapped mobility patterns across the city by crowd-sourcing responses to questions about which public spaces people frequent most, when, and how they get there. Using coloured threads to connect these responses, participants collectively wove a citywide pattern of how different genders navigate and experience Cairo.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The summer workshops in Cairo highlighted how questions of gender, class, and mobility are deeply embedded in the everyday life of the city. Through cross-cultural exchanges, neighbourhood-level engagements, and public exhibitions, the project revealed both the barriers and possibilities of creating more inclusive urban spaces. By bringing diverse voices into dialogue including students, residents, artists, and policymakers, the workshops demonstrated how participatory methods can uncover hidden patterns of exclusion while also sparking new imaginaries for a city that works for all.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For further details, please refer to the publication:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jin, J.<\/strong>, Huang, K. &amp; Zhu, M.
