Co-producing urban resilience and equality: Navigating the landscape of approaches that address gender power relations

This report highlights that co‑production alone does not ensure inclusion and must deliberately address gendered power relations to achieve equitable urban resilience.

Summary

This report examines how co‑production approaches for urban resilience can either challenge or unintentionally reinforce existing gendered power relations if equality and inclusion are not explicitly addressed.

Drawing on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) practice, it maps key outcomes, analytical tools, and pathways—from gender‑sensitive to gender‑transformative approaches—to support more inclusive decision‑making in urban contexts.

The report concludes that rigorous gender and intersectional analysis, clarity of ambition, and attention to power dynamics are essential for co‑production processes to move beyond participation and deliver equitable, resilient, and transformative urban outcomes.
