Abstract
This study examines effective methods for visualising gender issues in public spaces. This paper focuses on gender equality in the use of public spaces. Based on previous research, we have identified that gender issues in actual urban spaces arise from the spatial nature of cities and the power structures of gender in society. On the other hand, global discussions have focused on the design of spaces, with little consideration of urban planning perspectives. The ‘Gendered Landscape’ initiative in Umeå, Sweden, discusses how gender issues manifest themselves in urban spaces. This approach is considered effective in visualizing power structures.
