Abstract

What makes a city and how do we get to know it? How is it experienced differently based on gender and other intersecting forms of social difference? How do power relations (including those based on gender) inflect the production of urban materialities and socialities? What forms of politics emerge in the city? This chapter reviews how a feminist approach to political geography and urban theory, when combined, challenges established orthodoxies and habits of thinking about the city and its politics. I start with feminist interventions into urban studies that redefine ‘the city,’ moving to scholarship that helps complexify our understanding of the gendered experiences and productions of urban life, and concluding with a consideration of the feminist politics that shape urban environments.
