"UNIVERSAL CITIES FOR ALL” 

UniverCities is a no-profit association focused on bridging the gap between
research and market in the urban and built environment landscape.

knowledge and professional skills, with diversity and social inclusion serving
as the driving forces behind the change to solve environmental and climate
challenges.  



 

MISSION: UniverCities’ mission is to accelerate the transition of innovative
ideas into inclusive sustainable actions and solutions related to the global
urban and built environment  issues. This mission includes a strong emphasis on
embracing fully representative data, diverse knowledge and cultural
perspectives, sustainable business models, inclusive design, and just policies.

UNIVERCITIES IS A MEMBER OF THE CITIES OF EQUALITY PARTNERSHIP.

In 2023 UniverCities was selected to take part in the Thematic Partnership by
the European Urban Initiative, the European Commission and its Member States on
Cities of Equality of the Urban Agenda for the EU.




DOMAINS

The ecosystem promoted by UniverCities

is based on 4 integrated work areas:


GENDER DIVERSITY & INCLUSION IN URBAN PLANNING

Urban planning and building design have long responded to existing users, rather
than creating opportunities for entirely new behaviours, this means design
cities and spaces has never been gender neutral, neither minority friendly.

UniverCities leverages its team of (mostly) women, and its very diverse network
to support cities in creating healthy, safe, and inclusive living environments
for everyone in a fair way.




INCLUSIVE URBAN DATA

The existing bias in data is often un unspoken territory. Data sets, data
frameworks, Big Data in the modern world are the hidden places where inequality
still resides.

Data not only describes the world, but it is used to shape it. 

 

This is the reason why the approach to data management within UniverCities is
always considered the first step to inclusive solutions.




DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT

The social environmental and economic costs of inequity in the built environment
and cities are at a critical point.



UniverCities works closely with cities to bring theory into action and to ensure
that co design processes are effectively inclusive, and all voices can have a
platform to be heard. 


ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY BUILDING DESIGN

Eco-friendly buildings and construction techniques have taken center stage as a
trend that is here to stay. From sustainable home builds to commercial
developments, eco-friendly buildings are becoming the norm. An eco-friendly
building is a building that uses fewer natural resources and produces fewer
emissions and waste. Some green buildings even create a positive impact on the
environment around them and contribute to improving the global climate.
