Designing Cities for and with Women and Girls, London Boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest, for the London Legacy Development Corporation

Site experience walks with women, girls, and gender-diverse people developed a shared perception for LLDC’s work in hotspot sites. A Women and Girls Safety Charter was signed by local key stakeholders and landowners to ensure an approach that aligns with the findings. The engagement project intends to influence infrastructure and planning powers, such as the allocation of Section 106 monies and the use of the neighbourhood portion of Community Infrastructure Levy.
