Feminist Urban Planning and popular urban projects. Three compared cases in Argentina and Chile

Abstract

The multisectoral approach of Feminist Urbanism has managed to promote new forms of intervention in the design and management of the city, deploying numerous Good Practices in various territories. Under this premise, this work proposes a comparative analysis of three cases of urban projects for the popular habitat in Chile and Argentina: the Intercultural Neighborhood "Community of change", (2011 - 2016) in San Martín de los Andes; the “Alto Comedero” Neighborhood (2003 - 2014) in San Salvador de Jujuy, and the “Maestranza” Neighborhood (2020 - 2022) in Central Station, Santiago de Chile.

The diagnosis of the roles played by the people involved, the urban and building typologies carried out, and the forms of organization used, aimed at verifying the degree of associativity of each case with respect to the theoretical ideas of Feminism within the urban discipline. We worked from the individual signing of each case through 6 key categories (Context, Objective, Actors, Strategy, Impact, and Traits of Feminist Urbanism in the case).

Keywords: Feminist Urbanism, popular habitat, urban project, Argentina, Chile.
