Four free lead products grounded in GESI methodology developed for EBRD Green City Action Plans and World Bank infrastructure projects — designed to go beyond GBA+ and standard risk assessment.
Where EquiCity goes beyond GBA+, standard risk assessment, and existing municipal gender toolkits — grounded in documented limitations and field evidence.
GBA+ and most GESI tools identify who is harmed differentially. Almost none ask who captures economic benefits — and what it would take to redirect benefit flows to vulnerable groups. Green transitions create new economic opportunities: green jobs, energy cost savings, procurement contracts. These flows can be designed — but only if the question is asked at planning stage.
Existing tools acknowledge care burdens as demographic fact. None treat care infrastructure as a structural prerequisite for green transition to work — or quantify the care penalty in green economy participation. Ankara analysis documented that 70% of children aged 3–6 remain in maternal care, meaning women's participation in green economy jobs is structurally conditional on childcare infrastructure.
GBA+ frames missing data as a methodological limitation to be filled. It does not ask who designed the data architecture, what institutional logic it reflects, or whose labour it was built to render invisible. World Bank irrigation research revealed women water users were systematically absent from the SUTEM database — not because they didn't exist, but because the system was designed around masculine institutional logic.
GBA+ is primarily applied at policy design stage. Equity commitments made at design stage routinely disappear under budget pressure, contractor substitution, and political change. Construction, operations, and decommissioning phases create distinct GESI risks that no current tool tracks across the full infrastructure lifecycle.
Standard GESI tools treat "women" or "low-income" as demographic categories. They rarely integrate spatial analysis — mapping where vulnerable populations live relative to infrastructure access and green investments. Ankara documented a systematic pattern: peripheral low-income districts concentrated the highest vulnerability scores across transport, energy, flood risk, and childcare access simultaneously.
Each question targets a documented failure mode in real infrastructure and green city projects — not a compliance checklist.
Each product is a standalone resource — and a window into the deeper advisory, training, and simulation work Future Craft Studio offers.
A 10-question inclusion risk scan for plans and projects — structured around 5 domains your team can work through in under 30 minutes. Unlike GBA+ compliance checklists, each question targets a documented failure mode in real infrastructure and green city projects.
Take the scan →A curated library of 12 GESI indicators across 4 infrastructure sectors — each with definition, unit of measurement, required disaggregation, and source note. Designed for teams that inherit vague equity commitments and need to operationalise them. Goes beyond workforce diversity counts to capture care, spatial, and power dimensions.
Request access →What to do when gender-disaggregated data is missing — without making it worse. Five field-tested strategies for working with institutional data gaps in GESI contexts. Each card is a standalone protocol grounded in real project evidence from the World Bank, EBRD, and municipal fieldwork.
Request access →"Why Inclusion Matters in Green Transitions" — a ready-to-use internal briefing deck for city teams, infrastructure leads, and sustainability managers. Makes the structural argument that equity is not an add-on to green transitions — it determines whether they succeed or fail.
