The planning of major transport infrastructure projects (MTIPs) is becoming more and more complex. Apart from technical requirements, social and environmental impacts became increasingly important. Transportation planning is no longer an objective scientific problem-solving activity, but it has become a complex process of highly stochastic procedures, bearing risks and uncertainties. Mobility is embedded in the existing gender relations of our society. As an essential part of citizens’ daily life, the MTIP must also be adapted according to the needs and wishes of both women and men. It is essential to integrate the gender perspective in the entire planning process. This chapter reviews approaches to planning tools and gender mainstreaming in the context of MTIPs and identifies recommendations for the planning process based on case studies in Austria.
