Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World

What characteristics should define a city designed for working women? Imagine an urban landscape filled with supportive friendships, transcending the realm of shows like "Sex and the City." Envision transportation systems that cater to mothers maneuvering strollers during school commutes, and public areas abundant with essential facilities like restrooms. Picture a space where women can navigate the streets without fear of harassment. Leslie Kern delves into historical narratives, personal stories, and elements of popular culture to reveal the often-overlooked social inequalities embedded within our urban environments, homes, and communities. She presents a reimagined perspective on urban spaces through a feminist, intersectional lens, suggesting that cities hold significant potential for crafting a new, equitable urban future. It's time to challenge and deconstruct the long-held assumptions about urban living, and collaboratively design cities that promote justice, sustainability, and compassion.
