Inés Novella

Inés is an architect and holds a master’s degree in equal opportunities. She currently researches and coordinates the projects of the UNESCO Chair of Gender Policies in Science, Technology and Innovation at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Her two lines of research address, on the one hand, equality and gender policies in technological fields, and on the other, architectural and urban design with a gender perspective.

She says that thanks to the collaboration with Distrito Castellana Norte, it’s been possible to put work that was known at a theoretical level to the test. Many activities have been carried out, such as exploratory safety walks with women through Chamartín, Fuencarral and Las Tablas.

This contact with women is fundamental,
to let them know that we need them and that we want them to be part of the Madrid Nuevo Norte project.
