Summary

Through the contributions of mayors and experts, this conference aims to address the issue of gender equity through the perspective of urban metabolism. According to this perspective, equality is, in fact, not only a moral imperative but a necessary condition for the effective, harmonious and sustainable functioning of any urban society. The conference will particularly explore the contribution of municipal administrations to foster this approach, with an emphasis devoted to city diplomacy's potential to strengthen this action through the sharing of best practices, the introduction of joint projects, and international advocacy.
