Where will the future find us? One thing we know for sure: women and the dynamic they bring, especially to male-dominated fields, will play a big part in it. There has been considerable research put into mobility and the way women and men use transportation. The results are in, and women simply have different needs, agendas, and solutions to problems, the way in which they use transportation being just one example. Research also shows that male-dominated planning, which is worldwide nearly exclusively the case, does not take these needs into consideration. Including female agendas and solutions will bring us far in creating a culture that meets the needs of people as a whole, unifying us and keeping us together. Looking forward, there is a great need for more women in technical fields, particularly those leading towards crisis management and greener living. The Vienna Transportation Company works hard to provide an inclusive user experience (#diestadtgehoertdir) as well as work environment, where everyone can find their place, regardless of gender. These issues are all addressed in this piece, which is painted in oil and spray paint with silver and gold on canvas. Part of the Wiener Linien Art Collection.
