|
Date and time: Wednesday 21st February 2007
Venue: Room 125, Geography Department, Queen
Mary, University of London
Hosted by RTPI Transport Planning Network
& London Women and Planning Forum
The public authority duty to provide Gender Equality
Schemes comes into force in 2007 making it incumbent
on public bodies, as well as private and voluntary bodies
acting on public matters, to abide by the legislation.
Equalities Impact Assessments (EqIA) are becoming mainstreamed
into the planning system and provide an essential tool
to addressing equalities within transport infrastructure
projects. This event, to be hosted jointly by the London
Women and Planning Forum, and the RTPI’s Transport
Planning Network, provides a unique opportunity for
delegates to gain an insight into the application of
EqIA’s and their role in addressing gender needs
in infrastructure schemes.
