Her City Toolbox 4.0 is Published
October 31, 2025
In connection with World Cities Day 2025, Shared City and UN‑Habitat launched the new Her City Guide.
The global celebration of World Cities Day highlights the need for human‑centred smart cities. The Her City Toolbox supports inclusive, people‑centred planning across different urban scales and diverse contexts. Data‑driven decision‑making and technology can be leveraged to improve urban life and strengthen cities’ ability to recover from current disasters and crises.
The fourth edition of the Her City Guide brings together a comprehensive framework for inclusive and participatory urban development. Building on the success of the original toolbox, we have integrated several established methods that enhance participatory planning across a wider range of contexts. The updated guide offers expanded guidance and tools for monitoring and evaluation; multi‑level urban planning; construction, management and maintenance; decision‑making, strategy integration and scaling; as well as inclusive urban development in humanitarian and emergency settings.
In this fourth edition, you also gain access to the latest digital tools available on the platform: https://hercity.org/
