Join the School of Cities and the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE) for Feminist City 6.0: What Makes a Caring City? Together, we’ll explore how cities can be redesigned to foster caring, inclusive communities where everyone can thrive.
We've attended previous editions of this ongoing conversation: 2.0 & 4.0.
Care is the foundation of our societies. From childcare to health care to elder care, everyone depends on care for themselves and their loved ones. The need for equitable access to care services continues to grow as populations age, women’s participation in the labour market increases, and challenges like the climate crisis threaten health and safety. At the same time, shifting work patterns and back-to-office mandates are changing how people navigate care responsibilities, commutes, and community life.
High-quality care services not only support the well-being of care recipients but also open economic and social opportunities for caregivers. Caring communities are essential for building just, resilient, and flourishing cities—now and in the future.
How can cities meet the demand for equitable, accessible care? How can we prepare urban systems to support care in a rapidly changing global economy?
Answering these questions is critical for businesses, policymakers, civic organizations, developers, planners, and engaged citizens—because we all benefit from cities that are vibrant, inclusive, and built to care.
