The conference Plads til alle | Space for All brings together leading researchers, architects, urban designers and practitioners to explore how public spaces can better support the presence, well-being and participation of girls and young women. Through inspiring talks, real-life cases and critical dialogue, the conference reveals both the barriers and the opportunities hidden in our urban environments.
You will meet voices from across architecture, planning, academia and practice – all working to transform cities into more inclusive, shared and meaningful places.
Join us to discover:
- Why girls and young women withdraw from public space
- How design can change everyday urban experiences
- What inclusive cities demand from future architects and planners
- And how local actions can create global impact
This is not just a conference about cities. It is a conversation about who cities are really for.

Plads til alle | Space for All
Hvordan ville vores byer se ud, hvis de virkelig var designet til alle?
Konferencen Cities for Her samler førende forskere, arkitekter, byplanlæggere og praktikere for at undersøge, hvordan det offentlige rum bedre kan understøtte pigers og unge kvinders tilstedeværelse, trivsel og deltagelse. Gennem inspirerende foredrag, praksiseksempler og kritisk dialog afdækker konferencen både de barrierer og muligheder, der er skjult i vores bymiljøer.
Du vil møde stemmer fra arkitektur, planlægning, akademia og praksis – alle arbejder for at omdanne byer til mere inkluderende, fælles og meningsfulde steder.
Deltag og find ud af:
- Hvorfor piger og unge kvinder trækker sig tilbage fra det offentlige rum
- Hvordan design kan ændre hverdagens oplevelser i byen
- Hvad inkluderende byer kræver af fremtidens arkitekter og planlæggere
- Og hvordan lokale tiltag kan skabe global indflydelse
Dette er ikke bare en konference om byer. Det er en samtale om, hvem byer egentlig er til for.
