Abstract

Feminist urbanists from different disciplines have been working since the 1970s to rethink spaces from a gender perspective and to critique the androcentric city. Proximity as an urban quality is a recurrent issue in this work, connecting the need for physical proximity with the polyhedral journeys linked to care, which are mainly made by women.

Some authors who have made major contributions in this field are the Scandinavian feminists who coined the term new everyday life in the 1990s; the Italian sociologists who emphasised the relationship between public time management and gender.
