Walkability, Gender, Perception of SafetyAbstract
Making visible the processes of subordination to which women are subjected leads us to look at the different nuances that condition their movements in the city, according to values and roles that are perpetuated in society, symbolically and consistently - the space created by/for men “determines” a supposed affirmation of superiority/priority; that destined for women, a “condition” of subordination/inferiority. Thus, based on a theoretical framework, this study aims to reflect on what aspects reveal the experience of women walking through the city. The paper begins with a discussion of the concepts of gender and intersectionality; proceeds with the argument that the city is gendered; and finally presents an approach to the relationship between gender, mobility, and perceptions of safety - presented here as the triad of female walkability.
