September 29, 2022 por Nora Libertun - Ana Cristina García - Editor: Daniel Peciña-Lopez Leave a Comment

Income level is one of the most important factors determining the quality of housing.

In this context, minorities (either because of their ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.), are especially vulnerable and are often, on many … [Read more...] about How to foster the inclusion of Afro-descendant people in the cities of Latin America and the Caribbean?

What does it mean to design an inclusive city?

December 3, 2021 por Victor Pineda - Luis Artieda - Nora Libertun - Ana Cristina García - Editor: Daniel Peciña-Lopez Leave a Comment

More than 1 billion people around the world have one or more types of disability.  The way in which most urban areas are designed may prevent them from fully enjoying their city. In today's blog, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PWD), we want to highlight the importance of taking into account the needs of the entire population when designing policies … [Read more...] about What does it mean to design an inclusive city?
