Joining other Feminist Cities around the world including Barcelona and Vienna, Glasgow became the UK's first self-proclaimed Feminist City in 2022. This inspired University of Liverpool staff to create the Liverpool Feminist City Network, connecting multiple areas of research. What is a Feminist City? How is academic research helping inform and create cities that are more inclusive for everyone? Gavin Freeborn is joined by leaders of the Liverpool Feminist City Network members Professor Catherine Durose and Dr Catherine Queen, plus early career researchers Dr Shreyashi Dasgupta and Dr Emma Spruce.

TW: Vanaf 20:30 min. hebben we het meermaals over aanranding, verkrachting. Dit gaat gepaard met veel traumalachjes. In deze aflevering leggen Harriet en Sietske hun natuurlijk habitat onder de loep: de stad. Aan de hand van het boek Feminist City van Leslie Kern onderzoeken we hoe de anarchafeministische stad eruit zou moeten zien. Daarvoor vragen we ons af waarom we toch zo graag in de stad vertoeven, terwijl de stad ingericht is op able-bodied witte cis-mannen. We praten over toiletbezoek, nachtelijke wandelingen door het park, vervelende mannen, gentrificatie en nog veel meer. Heb je ideeën over hoe de anarchafeministische stad eruit zou moeten zien? Stuur dan een mail naar poetsdiemuur@riseup.net.

Miasto dla Kobiet, które się właśnie ukazało nakładem wydawnictwa Czarne, to nie jest podręcznik o tym jak projektować inkluzywne miasta. Książka Leslie Kern to bardziej pamiętnik, w którym przytacza historie ze swojego życia przeplatane faktami i danymi. Choć opisuje doświadczenia mieszkanki miast Ameryki Północnej, to opisywane sytuacje i problemy są często uniwersalne i wnoszą nowe spojrzenie na nasza polską rzeczywistość. Magdalena Milert w najnowszym Międzymiastowo przybliża nam spojrzenie Leslie Kern opisane w książce „Feminist City”.

Spatial planning can only deliver a safe, healthy and sustainable environment for all if it is sensitive to the needs of all, which means taking into account the different roles women and men have in society and the different expectations and requirements they have from the planning system. Nobody could argue with that principle, but what does it mean in practice? What does planning policy look like when viewed through a gender lens, how do we plan on a gender inclusive basis at a city-wide scale and what does that look like on the ground? This episode has been put together by Sam Stafford (@samuel_stafford) with the help of Women in Planning (@womeninplanning) and the Royal Town Planning Institute to mark International Women's Day. It is comprised of three parts that will tackle those questions by way of three separate conversations. In Part 1 you will hear Shelly Rouse (@rouse_shelly) talk to Karen Horwood (@karenhhorwood) and Natalya Palit (@natpalit) about women in planning, woman and planning and gender mainstreaming. In Part 2 you will hear Phoebe Threlfall and Katie Shoosmith (@KFluzza) talk to Holly Bruce (@cllrhollybruce) about Holly's ambition to make Glasgow a Feminist City. And in Part 3 you will hear Vicky Payne (@Victoria_Payne) talk to Imogen Clark, Helen Fadipe (@hfadipe) and Katie Wray (@kluw) about making space for girls. At the end of that segment you can also look forward to Vicky getting on the 50 Shades soapbox. Some accompanying reading.

EPISODE 101: FEMINIST CITY WITH LESLIE KERN Cities have almost always been designed by men, prioritizing men's needs as defined by the traditional male-female binary. But as scholar and author Leslie Kern writes in her  book, Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World, a truly feminist city could be, “an ongoing experiment in living differently, living better, and living more justly in an urban world.” Sarah talks with Dr. Kern about  how gender influences the way we move through our streets, and how adopting a feminist perspective could make our cities more humane and livable for everyone, regardless of gender identity.  This episode is sponsored by Cleverhood.

Glasgow has become the first city in the UK to officially adopt a feminist town-planning-approach. Emma Barnett speaks to the woman behind the proposal Scottish Green Councillor Holly Bruce and the author of ‘Feminist City' Leslie Kern. What's a feminist city look like and what changes can we expect to see in Glasgow. One in five female doctors say they have considered early retirement due to menopause symptoms. A new report warns that without better support there could be ‘an exodus' of female doctors from the NHS. Emma talks to Dame Jane Dacre, President of the Medical Protection Society, a not-for-profit protection organisation for healthcare professionals, who conducted the survey. Plus, Dr Nadira Awal, a GP who specialises in Women's Health. The Treasury has warned of "inevitable" tax rises as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak seeks to fill a "black hole" in public finances. They agreed "tough decisions" were needed on tax rises, as well as on spending. The Treasury gave no details but said "everybody would need to contribute more in tax in the years ahead". So how did we get here, what are the changes announced in a couple of weeks' time likely to be and how will they affect you? We hear from two women in the know Claer Barratt the consumer editor at the Financial Times and Dame DeAnne Julius a Fellow in Global Economy and Finance at Chatham House, and a founder member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England Plus Jan Etherington the writer of Radio 4's comedy Conversations from a Long Marriage joins Emma to discuss the highs and lows of bickering.

In this episode, I talk with Leslie Kern about her book, Feminist City. We tend to think about our built environment as fixed and nothing to do with sexism, discrimination or bias. But like everything else in our world, our cities are shaped by gender as they were designed for one type of man at the exclusion women. In our conversation, Leslie exposes what is hidden in plain sight: the social inequalities embedded into our cities, homes, and neighbourhoods. Some topics of discussion include: “The female fear” is real! And women are not being irrational... Navigating the city as a mom (or parent) Why women often need headphones in order to be left alone (”smile, sweetheart!”) How policing is not the answer to keeping women safe How the lack of public infrastructure for care work deepens inequality among women as we participate in multiple layers of exploitation just to keep ourselves afloat By reimagining our cities we can build more just and sustainable environments for all And more!

Hosted & Edited by: Sneha Visakha Intro Music: Wehrmut by Godmode Outro Music: Ophelia's Blues by Audionautix Assisted by: Ranu Tiwari TW – References to male violence against women, hijab ban, hindu supremacist politics In part 1 of the first episode of Season 2 of the Feminist City podcast series, Sneha Visakha is in conversation with Kavita Krishnan, noted feminist activist and author of Fearless Freedom. They discuss the question of women's freedom, a decade after the 2012 Delhi gangrape and murder that saw massive country-wide protests, which Kavita was a part of. They talk about women's autonomy, in the backdrop of the recent hijab ban in Karnataka's educational institutions, situating it in the context of far-right Hindu supremacist politics and anti-Muslim bigotry. In the first part of the conversation, they explore topics such as feminist negotiations with the politics of dress, Hindu majoritaritarianism, links between social conservatism and neoliberalism, and the importance of safeguarding constitutional values of secularism in India's heterogenous, multicultural and pluralistic society. Kavita Krishnan is a communist feminist activist and author. She is the Secretary of All India Progressive Women's Association (AIPWA) and politburo member of The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation. She completed her B.A. from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and M. Phil in English Literature from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi (JNU). Her first book, Fearless Freedom, was published by Penguin in 2020. You can follow her on twitter @kavita_krishnan. For background reading, we recommend perusing the literature provided below.

In this episode we talk to urban scholar Leslie Kern (https://lesliekern.ca/) author of the Feminist City, about how to build cities with women in mind. We explore how cities can show up better for women in caregiving roles and how we build safety into our city for low-income and homeless women, who are most vulnerable to outdated patriarchal design practices. Using a dash of urban planning while drawing inspiration from other feminist centric projects we reimagine Waterloo, from transportation and infrastructure, to how to modernize the safety value of pay phones. This podcast is a continuation from a guest lecture done in February 2022 by Leslie Kern as part of our collaborative speaker series with the City of Kitchener 'Building Equitable Cities', where we invite thought leaders into our community to share knowledge that challenges our tired traditions and builds equity.

Leslie Kern is the author of The Feminist City — Claiming Space in a Man-Made World, a book which, since publication in 2019, has sparked conversations between those who design the city, and those who study it, and who live in it. In this episode, she speaks with Reuben J. Brown about the inequities and complexities of our dominant urban designs and ways of living, while looking towards more liveable, more just, alternatives.And the new urban world Leslie Kern imagines in the Feminist City isn't designed in a top-down, universalising way — like the utopian urban dreams of the mid 20th Century. Rather, she seeks existing and historical pockets of feminist cities and asks what it would mean to extrapolate those models more broadly. Leslie's academic background is in gender studies: she's currently an associate professor of geography and environment, and director of women's and gender studies, at Mount Allison University in Canada. And she brings this viewpoint to discussing the city: acknowledging the complex layers of physical infrastructure and human relationships; private homes, and public squares, that make up the places we live. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear us reference writers, and design collectives who have imagined feminist alternatives, and often put them into practice. And to learn from the success of these projects, is to acknowledge that if design is to have an impact on the culture of patriarchy, it first has to change its own culture; move away from the notion of the master architect, and do a lot more listening from the bottom-up.

In this episode, hosts Alys Mumford and Amanda Stanley are joined by Engender's Eilidh Dickson, and Caitlin Logan and Marie Spalding from One Parent Families Scotland.  Hear from Caitlin and Marie about how young single parent families are up to £66.13 worse off per month under Universal Credit compared with the previous social security system, and why Engender are supporting One Parent Families Scotland's campaign to End the Young Parent Penalty.  Find out more about the campaign here and follow OPFS on Twitter here.

So in this third episode in a trilogy on 21st century feminisms, Matt & Jesse move from celebrating feminist manifestoes to exploring feminist geographies with a discussion of Kern's Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World. This richly observed mapping of man-made urban spaces expertly juxtaposes pop cultural reflections, academic scholarship and hauntingly personal accounts of a lifetime struggling to claim feminine space in cities, first as a child, then a teenager & college student and later as a mother & scholar. As the feminist geographer Jane Darke once said: “Our cities are patriarchy written in stone, brick, glass and concrete.” In all-too obvious displays of crude masculine power, the towering phallic monuments to capitalist expropriation that define city skylines cast long shadows reminding us all that this is a man's world. From 12th century churches, to 20th century office towers, and from Beverly Hills mansions to billionaire's row penthouses—cities are monuments to myth-making, extraction, and exploitation—making concrete structures out of the poisoned logics of religion, capitalism, and celebrity. The world is built by and for patriarchy, and it's the “cosmic background radiation” of white, male, cis-hetero, and able-bodied privileges that allows men to coast through life on cruise control, never burdened by the realities of other people's lives. Free from the constant nagging fear of sexual violence lurking around every public and private corner, men not only enjoy the privilege of designing our global cities, but they're also free to explore them with unrestrained liberty. The geography of the city demonstrates clearly that the maintenance of capitalism is contingent upon an ever-present threat of violence, and primarily on gender-based violence. The sustained anxieties perpetuated by patriarchy and white supremacy are manifest not only in the violence enacted through policing and policy making, but also in the shape of our urban environments. So to transform the city, we must look beyond simply “gender-mainstreaming” city planning and vacuous liberal pleas for symbolic reforms. As Kern writes, “once we begin to see how the city is set up to sustain a particular way of organizing society—across gender, race, sexuality, and more—we can start to look for new possibilities.” So we must start to look for those possibilities to decommodify life and democratize society. Because the reality is, without challenging the notion of private property, we aren't challenging the patriarchy. Private property and the enclosure of land is the conscription of patriarchy on the planet. To demolish this structural domination and transform our cities into environments that are open, safe, and free for everyone, we must once and for all—abolish the motherfucking cost of living.    Comprehensive Show Notes Can Be Found at thefutureisamixtape.com Feel Free to Contact Jesse & Matt on the Following Spaces & Places: thefutureisamixtape@gmail.com Facebook Twitter Instagram

Producer and Host: Sneha Visakha; Intro Music: Wehrmut by Godmode; Outro Music: Opheliea's Blues by Audionautix TW: references to violence against women, girls, gender and sexual minorities In the final episode of this season of the Feminist City podcast series, Sneha Visakha engages with the why feminist urbanism matters, reflecting on the learnings garnered from this project so far. She describes the background of this project and discusses key cases that spurred conversations on the relationship between women and urban public space - from the Nirbhaya case in 2012, the case concerning Dr. Priyanka Reddy in 2019, and more recently, Sarah Everard in March 2021 - and how responses in each instance seems to be riddled with the same set of stereotypes and misconceptions that plague popular understanding of patriarchal violence against women and girls and how to prevent it. She discusses the biased nature of English media reporting in India of ‘people like us' which tend to focus on specific instances of brutal violence affecting certain classes of privileged women in urban centres, rather than attend to the ongoing and systemic nature of gender-based violence. She also discusses the importance of understanding the city as an active participant in the production of patriarchal violence and of adopting an intersectional feminist approach that interrogates the material basis of exclusion in the city that disadvantages women and girls on the basis of gender in addition to other forms of social identity such as caste, class, religion, sexuality, ability and others. She concludes the episode with revisiting the question of why feminist urbanism matters and what it entails for lawyers, policy practitioners and for everyone interested in building safe and equitable cities.

He is the principal investigator of the Housing Discrimination Project (HDP), a three-year empirical research project on urban rental housing discrimination in India. In this episode, they discuss the housing discrimination project and the nature of rental housing discrimination against Muslims in Indian cities such as Delhi and Mumbai. Dr. Bhat explains the modalities and narratives that underpin discriminatory practices against Muslims in the city and how ‘access' to housing networks differs for different groups in the city. He also highlights the need to understand the cost and impact of discrimination, not merely in terms of outcomes, but as an ongoing, affective process, that results in the construction of exclusionary cities. They also discuss the role of law in addressing discrimination and the importance of multidisciplinary engagements with the law.

In the eighth epsiode of the Feminist City, Sneha Visakha is in conversation with Deepa Pawar, Founder-Director, Anubhuti Trust. In this episode, they talk about the diversity of urban youth, the challenges young women & girls face in the city, particularly those belonging to vulnerable communities such as nomadic and denotified tribes (NT-DNTs) in the city. They talk about the right to pee campaign, the way urban infrastructure and deprivation contributes to gender-based violence, exclusion and injustice. They discuss the politics of urban development, about who helps build the city and who benefits from the current paradigms of development, about ‘mental justice' as a critical dimension of social justice to be situated in the constitutional framework, and about the invisible structural violence that city-dwellers experience, particularly those belonging to NT-DNT communities. Deepa Pawar is the Founder and Director of Anubhuti Trust, with 20 years of experience in the social development sector. With a Masters' in Social Work, she is a trained counsellor who has worked extensively with vulnerable communities and a core member of the Right to Pee campaign. She is an internationally recognised NT-DNT woman activist and wrote the first ever book documenting Gadiya Lohar nomadic tribe's iron weapons / tools making. Anubhuti Trust, formed and self-led by women from different backgrounds, work on wide-ranging issues such as youth leadership, community development, mental justice, disaster risk management and constitutional literacy among others, from a gender justice, anti-discrimination and constitutional lens.

Producer and Host: Sneha Visakha; Intro Music: Wehrmut by Godmode; Outro Music: Opheliea's Blues by Audionautix Trigger Warning: references to gender-based violence and domestic violence It has been a decade since the publication of Why Loiter? a book that changed the way we think about women's safety, autonomy and how women and girls occupy the Indian city. In the seventh episode of the Feminist City, Sneha Visakha is in conversation with Dr. Shilpa Phadke, one of the authors. They talk about the ways thinking around women's safety has changed or remained the same, about women claiming political citizenship, the way ‘love jihad' is constructed to target the Muslim community while exercising control over women and girls, about how one can understand and embody the lessons of Why Loiter? a decade later in the background of the paternalistic, anti-democratic and neoliberal contexts we increasingly find ourselves in. They also discuss Dr. Phadke's work on desexualising safety, the right to claim risk, what it means to be a feminist parent to children, and how does one nurture feminist imagination?

Producer and Host: Sneha Visakha; Intro Music: Wehrmut by Godmode; Outro Music: Opheliea's Blues by Audionautix Trigger Warning: references to violence against women, sexual harassment, carcerality, and extra-judicial violence Legal approaches to women's safety have tended to be highly dominated by discussions around criminal justice and carcerality. In this episode, Sneha Visakha is in conversation with Alok Prasanna Kumar about why tackling violence against women must shift away from criminal approaches to bringing about structural changes towards correcting gendered power imbalance in society - making questions of municipal law, education and social and economic justice mechanisms sites for feminist legal intervention. They discuss the contrast in the State's paternalistic protectionism towards women's safety versus the targeting of young women by the State's criminal apparatus, changing goals of feminist movements, varied state responses to violence against women belonging to marginalised communities, about carcerality, trauma and why the criminal justice system doesn't seem to work for women.

In the podcast series, The Feminist City, we think about the city, explore our relationships with it and examine exclusions within it from a feminist perspective. In paying attention to the big, small and mundane aspects of urban existence, we hope to centre the everyday lives of women, gender and sexual minorities in critically engaging with the city. This is an attempt to delve into what it means for a city to be built on feminist principles, to cultivate feminist imagination and explore pathways to realise it collectively. In this series, we speak to people who think about cities, are invested in feminist politics, and engage themselves in the never-ending task of imagining and realising equitable cities. This is based out of Bangalore, Karnataka. The Feminist City is hosted by Sneha Visakha, Research Fellow, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, Karnataka. Sneha has a background in law and liberal arts, and is interested in cities, feminist politics and strongly believes in (inter)disciplinary convergences. You can write to her at sneha.visakha@vidhilegalpolicy.in or reach out to her at @magicanarchist (Twitter).

What does a fully inclusive city look like? With issues like policing, housing, child care, surveillance, and education in the news, due to the uprising and the pandemic, Leslie Kern and I consider what a city that is built for the use of all people -- not just the professional class -- could look like.
