ABSTRACT Over the past decades, several collective urban experiments led by women in Latin America have revealed female reproductive work as a critical element in effectuating the right to the city. Amid a global crisis of social reproduction exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is pressing to ask: What tools are available to imagine a production of space that is effectively feminist, anti-racist, and decolonial? Drawing from proposals from Latin American feminist authors, I discuss how the combination of patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism has shaped social reproduction and modes of resistance. To do so, I reflect on the experience of a group of women living and working together in an ocupação in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The analysis uses data from research carried out in 2018, involving interviews, informal conversations, and participant observation. These women’s experiences allow us to understand how these practices create theory that relates to their reality.

ABSTRACT This paper consists of three sections: (1) the history of the formation of slums before and after the Islamic Revolution, (2) the role of the political economy of oil in the formation and expansion of slums in Tehran and (3) the application of possible modes of intervention extracted from the new relevant literature phases. The grassroots factor in their formation is the high dependency of the economy on oil and the consequent flow of oil revenues toward large cities, and rural-to-urban migration as the result. Despite many attempts to solve the problems of slums in Iran, they have been doomed to failure simply because they have not taken into consideration the main cause, which is the political economy of oil. The results obtained from the interviews with the urban planning experts indicate that the preferred intervention strategy for such informal settlements is to pursue the Millennium Development Goals.

ABSTRACT Urban infrastructures are now widely viewed as eminently political socio-technical systems that can govern cities and reorder urban space, but their temporal dimension has only recently been considered as central to this political work. By exploring the transformations of electricity infrastructures in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas over the past ten years (2009-2020), this article examines how infrastructural change is governed through multiple temporal processes. It considers how different urban infrastructure development-related temporal aspects and experiences (simultaneity, speeds, progressivity, and waiting) are connected to the temporality of planning, urban intervention, security, and infrastructure-related rights. Through this analysis, the article aims to theoretically expand our understanding of infrastructures as technologies of government, and to unpack the relationship between planning, infrastructures, and citizenship, beyond the state; a relationship that is not only spatially framed but also temporally governed and experienced.
