Why the world is still not built for women | Virginia Santy

Virginia Santy's TED Talk addresses how the world is designed primarily for men, often neglecting the needs and experiences of women. She argues that from office temperatures to city planning, the default male perspective results in discomfort and inequality for women. Santy illustrates this with examples like inadequate parking spaces for mothers and the lack of consideration for care work in urban design. She shares her experience designing a workspace for women, which included wider parking spaces, easier-to-open doors, and on-site childcare. Santy advocates for valuing women's contributions by designing cities and systems that recognize their unique needs, proposing that such changes could significantly boost the US GDP and improve communities.
