Abstract
Today, cities have become the stage where the dynamics of patriarchy and capitalism are reflected and perpetuated. These two interconnected systems shape and govern our urban life, directly impacting on the sexual division of labour, the valuation of reproductive and care work, and the gender-based violence experienced in urban space. This article aims to address the challenge of rethinking and building cities from a feminist perspective, taking into account the diversity and uniqueness of people, with an intersectional approach that recognises the multiple variables that shape us as individuals. As a case study, the city of Valparaíso in Chile will be examined and the opportunities and obstacles that arise in the search for a more just, inclusive and violence-free city will be explored, highlighting the fundamental role of women's active participation in decision-making and city planning.
