592. Women After Dark book by Nourhan Bassam – Urbanistica Podcast – Cities for People
Nourhan Bassam, (The Feminist Urbanist, CEO of The Gendered City, Asst. Professor of Feminist Urbanism) Author of the new book Women After Dark, reflects on how cities continue to exclude women and marginalised groups after sunset.Grounded in personal experience, feminist research, and a multi-year project with the FemDes Network, the discussion explores how the night intensifies inequalities related to safety, mobility, visibility, and access to public space. Conventional solutions such as policing, CCTV, and excessive lighting are questioned, with a focus instead on participatory, community-led, and context-sensitive urban design.The episode also draws on insights from nighttime governance in cities like Amsterdam, London, and Barcelona, highlighting fear as a structural issue and the need to centre lived experience in creating safer, more inclusive cities after dark.Nourhan on Linkedinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nourhan-bassam-39164b78/Here are links to get the book: "You can get the book from Waterstones, La Feltrinelli, or Amazon."https://www.waterstones.com/book/women-after-dark/nourhan-bassam//9798266961876https://www.lafeltrinelli.it/women-after-dark-how-cities-libro-inglese-nourhan-bassam/e/9798266961876?srsltid=AfmBOooNB7la4Zb9zMYDUnWzvIjyHxI3VJLjt5tPkxqF910WmLk99A2_https://www.amazon.it/Women-After-Dark-Cities-Failing/dp/B0FWCR7FB3You can also check out the Feminist Placemaking Academy, a viral program that is expanding worldwide, here:https://genderedcity.org/feminist-pm-program___Keep Up the Good Work.
