The graduation project ‘Gender Walk Design’ investigated genderwalks as a method for knowledge gathering in planning and design. Because gender based differences and inequalities are present in cities, the work towards understanding and reacting to them is very relevant for urbanists. However, intersectional gender aware design is extremely complex and the right approach can be difficult to distinguish. The project looks to utilize the potentials of walking - in its simplicity and effectiveness - as a responding strategy. For this purpose, the potentials and limits of the method were tested through a transparent design process of the method, through the conduction and documentation of genderwalks in Berlin Neukölln and through an analysis of the findings that lead to design proposals.
