Addressing gender inequity in the built environment
This event has finished
Join leaders and people from across the built environment for an afternoon of placing front and centre the knowledge, expertise and lived experience of women working in the sector.
We will hear from women’s grassroots networks and organisations, and practice experts. They will highlight practical and tractable actions that workplaces, teams and individuals can take to address gender inequity and actively create a more inclusive sector.
