Gender and transport data: India
In our fourth expert interview, we turn our attention to gender and transport, exploring how cities can build more inclusive mobility systems. Megha Tyagi, our Project Manager from Cities Forum, leads an engaging conversation with Krishna Desai, Technical Advisor at GIZ India, about the critical role of gender-disaggregated data in fostering gender-responsive urban transport.
Krishna shares her insights on the challenges cities face in collecting data on women’s travel patterns and highlights success stories from cities like London, Bogota, and Bhubaneswar that are implementing gender-sensitive reforms. She also introduces GIZ India’s gender-disaggregated data framework, recently applied in Kochi, explaining how it can help emerging cities identify and address gender-based inequalities in public transport.
This engaging interview emphasizes the pressing need for gender mainstreaming in urban mobility, offering practical strategies for emerging cities to create safer and more equitable transportation systems.
