How do decolonial feminist urban imaginaries of urban futures begin to interrogate twenty-first century urban life? The urban futures signaled by the chapters in this book highlight overlapping dimensions of urban imaginaries-capitalism, temporality and the everyday. While the first dimension connects the privatisation and commodification of urban infrastructures to the realisation of state-based and capitalist discursive efforts to make the urban, the second dimension concerns temporal convergences of past, present and future in visions of the urban. It is in these convergences that the recursive logics of coloniality are reproduced in re-mappings of the landscapes of urban inequality and dispossession through which encounters between historical sedimentations of colonial relations and emergent (neo)colonial formations take place. Third, authors take up the everyday as a site of struggle through which women's negotiations and placemaking practices offer alternative decolonial urban imaginaries.The book is based on papers given at the 'Feminist Explorations of Urban Futures' conference, held in September 2019, at York University in Toronto, Canada, organised by the transnational feminist research project 'Urbanisation, Gender and the Global South: A Transformative Knowledge Network' (GenUrb). It was originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography.

How do decolonial feminist urban imaginaries of urban futures begin to interrogate twenty-first century urban life? The urban futures signaled by the chapters in this book highlight overlapping dimensions of urban imaginaries—capitalism, temporality and the everyday. While the first dimension connects the privatisation and commodification of urban infrastructures to the realisation of state-based and capitalist discursive efforts to make the urban, the second dimension concerns temporal convergences of past, present and future in visions of the urban. It is in these convergences that the recursive logics of coloniality are reproduced in re-mappings of the landscapes of urban inequality and dispossession through which encounters between historical sedimentations of colonial relations and emergent (neo)colonial formations take place.

This Handbook is a state-of-the-art exploration of the multidisciplinary field of gender and cities scholarship, providing in-depth assessments of the latest research within key areas of feminist urban academia. Editors Linda Peake, Anindita Datta and Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin have brought together over 60 feminist scholars to present cutting-edge insights into this important field of study.The Handbook on Gender and Cities presents a cross-section of contemporary feminist work, spanning a range of theories and practices associated with urban space. Contributing authors explore key issues including urban policy, planning and politics; the urban economic arena; the urban environment; the urban everyday; feminist imaginaries of urban spaces and places; and feminist and decolonial urban knowledge production. The editors trace numerous crucial themes across the Handbook’s chapters, namely patriarchy, social reproduction, gendered violence, and women’s agency and the arena of the everyday. Whilst the Handbook celebrates the continually developing field of feminist urban studies, it acknowledges the volume of work still to be done and encourages future research to better accept and understand its complex and multiplicitous nature.This forward-thinking Handbook is a vital resource for students, scholars and researchers in the fields of urban studies, geography, sociology, anthropology, women’s and gender studies and development studies. Its discussion of contemporary issues in urban settings will also appeal to professionals and practitioners working in public policy, urban design and planning.
