A councillor has revealed she was once spat on by a man as she waited for the Subway, as she argued there is a need for change in the way the city is planned.
Glasgow will be the first UK city to take a ‘feminist approach’ to town planning after the council backed a motion by Cllr Holly Bruce, Greens, which said women must be central to planning and public realm design to ensure spaces are safe.
The approach could include widening pavements to accommodate buggies, safe active travel routes, adequate lighting infrastructure, integrated, accessible and affordable transport, better pathway maintenance and more public toilets.
