Beskrivning

This groundbreaking collection examines how feminist urbanism is transforming Latin American cities through innovative care policies and grassroots organizing. Drawing on cases from Mexico City, Bogotá, Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro and beyond, the book reveals how feminist activists, bureaucrats and community organizations are challenging patriarchal spatial orders by reimagining urban infrastructure around care and social reproduction. The book showcases concrete interventions—from care blocks and collective kitchens to gender violence policies—that demonstrate how feminism movements are reshaping urban governance and citizenship. Highlighting innovation and best practice, the collection offers inspiring reading for scholars, planners and policy makers seeking equitable urban futures.
