We sat down with Jennifer Fix, a Vancouver-based associate in urban planning and design at the integrated design firm DIALOG, while she was in Montreal for the World Design Summit. At the summit, she gave two talks: “Femopolis: Cities For Women, By Women, With Women” and “Engaging As If Cities Are For Everyone.” We asked her about her “Femopolis,” where women are the protagonists of the city and we talked with her about her work, exploring the benefits of participatory, generative design that involves the community. To learn more about Jennifer’s work, follow her on twitter @j_urbanfix.
