[1] The exhibition featured works about the lived experiences of eight women of varying ages and abilities over the course of a single day.
[2] It led to broader conversations about how many European cities, including Vienna, had been designed primarily with male commuters in mind and could subsequently fail to meet women's needs; in 1992, Kail became head of the Frauenburo.
[2] One of Kail's first projects involved inviting women to submit bids for a 357-unit complex, the Women-Work-City, or Frauen-Werk-Stadt; the women-designed project was completed in 1997 and included numerous design features intended to address women's needs, such as storage for strollers, wide stairwells, and a building height low enough to ensure residents could see the street.
[3] The Frauen-Werk-Stadt functioned as a proof of concept for the applications of gender mainstreaming in urban planning, and from 2002 to 2006 Kail was able to work on a pilot in the neighborhood of Mariahilf, with 28,000 residents.
[2][4] This work included improving street lighting, prioritizing pedestrians, installing new seating, widening pavement, and removing barriers to ease passage of strollers, wheelchair users, and the elderly.
