520			_aThe Gender Equality Duty is a requirement included in the Single Equality Act (2006) requiring public authorities to promote gender equality and remove gender discrimination when acting as employers and service providers. This research paper examines the impact of Gender Equality Duty on spatial planning practice and policy. It concludes that there is a lack of awareness of the Gender Equality Duty and a tendency to focus the legislation around women. It also finds that gender equality is not as emphasised as race or disability equality. It also suggests a lack of knowledge and examples on how to practically implement gender in planning and shows that gender equality in local authorities is usually emphasised by individuals.
