European cities bid adieu to sexist mobility policies"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

European cities are constantly making mobility greener, but there\u2019s one issue they still haven\u2019t tackled: making it gender-neutral.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yup, gender can be a big factor in mobility. It\u2019s been shown that women and men have very different travel needs and patterns<\/a><\/span>, but this hasn\u2019t really been considered in mobility plans of city governments \u2014 until now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cities in Europe now increasingly consider the gendered effects of transport policies and use them to inform adoption of less car-centric systems, <\/span>Bloomberg<\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies show that while men mostly do a single back-and-forth trip to work by car, women are more likely to make multiple trips per day. This is partly explained by women being forced to combine various activities with work, such as childcare and household chores \u2014 which often requires more traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n
