Equidade de gênero e equipamentos urbanos: diretrizes para paradas de ônibus no Quarto Distrito

Abstract

The reorganization of cities in developing countries and, along with this, a change in the means of transport offered to their users, caused space to change drastically. According to research carried out in the São Paulo metro, it appears that women are the majority in active and public transport, with 53% of women using the bus, train or subway. Therefore, as women are the ones who use this urban structure the most, they are also the ones who suffer most from poor access to transport and safety at bus stops. This research seeks alternatives through case studies of creative designs of urban furniture and bus stops that can contribute to a safer and more inclusive space within the city and, thus, encourage the use of public transport. The research, in addition to seeking to make these spaces more inclusive, also seeks to make the city more sustainable.
