Quale genere di città. Rigenerazione urbana tra intersezionalità e inclusione = What kind of city – Urban regeneration between intersectionality and inclusion

Public space design has traditionally focused on the experience of a ‘standard user’, typically a healthy male, which does not reflect the diversity of actual users. This methodological approach has systematically overlooked the specific needs of women, the elderly, and people with disabilities, resulting in a partial and non-inclusive understanding of reality. Starting from the need to adopt a systemic and integrated approach in line with the 2030 Agenda, and drawing on significant examples such as the cases of Vienna and Barcelona that highlight the intersectional perspective of gender in urban design, the article underscores the urgency of rethinking and managing public space through a cross-cutting design strategy. This strategy calls for the involvement of multiple stakeholders to foster more equitable and inclusive societies.
