Do we need to think more about women when it comes to planning?

from The Hard Shoulder

“There has been very little attention paid to the needs of women in the planning and construction of housing and neighbourhoods. The reality is that the built environment is designed by men, for men”.That’s the view of Lorcan’s Sirr in an opinion piece today in the Irish Times about housing and how we plan and design our houses. Is that a fair assessment?Joining Ciara to discuss is Gavin Lawlor.
