From a multidisciplinary approach, the main objectives of the project aimed to:

* shed light on the practice of policy makers and technical officials, in order to help bring about change, through encouraging citizen involvement in modifying social relations, particularly gender relations;
* take part in building convivial spaces where men and women can have equal access to decision-making;
* convert the research results into useful proposals for all actors involved in democratic urban governance, in other words, local decision-makers, technicians, city professionals and citizens.
