Intersectionality and privilege are crucial in feminist urban planning, aiming to weave diverse identities into city design. We will explore the connections between work, caregiving, family dynamics, gender, and mobility, to develop resilient and inclusive urban models. Addressing structural discrimination in Brussels is vital. Our speaker, a Chilean migrant in Italy and Belgium, brings a unique perspective as a queer woman, feminist, and activist. Her role in EU communications highlights the importance of digital strategies in feminist advocacy, crucial for Generation Z's vision of transformation.
Is Brussels a ‘Care city’?

Discover how Brussels' mobility sector can impact the daily life of migrant female care workers. How do we address and respond to the multiple crises we are facing today in the city? In our view it is crucial to call for a radical change in our urban design processes, directing our efforts toward implementing more inclusive urban models and practices. Join us while we critically reflect on the possibilities that gender-driven urban policies and practices could open for our cities (and societies) towards a more sustainable and inclusive future for all.
