Urbanism and gender: from the gender impact report to the principle of equal treatment as an inspiration for the new conception of urban development

Abstract

The advance of urban policies within the framework of the right to the city and the gradual inclusion of the principle of territorial and sustainable urban development means that aspects such as the gender perspective, sustainability, social cohesion or participation are increasingly present, in short, the search for more inclusive, more humane and more livable cities. In not too much time, it has gone from trying to guarantee the fulfillment of certain aspects in the planning through the corresponding reports, formal procedure from the procedural point of view, to the inclusion of criteria in the new models of territorial and urban development with the incorporation of concrete measures aimed at their effectiveness. The work focuses, on the one hand, on analyzing when the gender impact report is required in the light of the recent jurisprudence of the Supreme Court and, on the other hand, on the novelty of the express recognition in jurisdictional headquarters of the right to the city and the principle of equal treatment, inspiring the new conception of sustainable urban and territorial development, as well as its gradual inclusion in the autonomous legislative frameworks.
