Introduction : The text discusses the importance of integrating the gender perspective into training in architecture and urbanism, historically male-dominated areas where the female contribution has been undervalued. Methodology : Including this perspective in the teaching of these disciplines is crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to gender equality, reducing inequalities and building sustainable cities. Results: The research highlights the absence of a gender perspective in Integrated Master's programmes in Architecture in Portugal, evidenced by the lack of content, bibliographical references and institutional initiatives that address the role of women in the history of architecture. The predominance of male lecturers in leadership positions contrasts with the growing demand for architecture training by women. Discussion: This includes the development of guides and specific curricular units, sensitising future generations of architects to plan spaces that are more inclusive and sensitive to the needs of all social groups. Conclusions: The research argues that the omission of a gender perspective jeopardises quality education (SDG 4) and prevents the development of projects that promote a real understanding of the architect's social role, which is essential for the quality of urban life.
