This paper starts from a critique of the anaesthetisation of contemporary cities, seen as an effect, in the town planning field, of the role scientific rationality assigns to the body in the Western culture. Feminist research is used as an epistemological filter useful to the urban planner in order to assume a critical posture towards the dominant order of knowledge. This posture is expressed in the emphasis placed on the body and to sensory experience in interpreting reality, as well as in the attention paid to qualitative analysis that can foster the use of creative methods also in urban studies. Claiming the centrality of corporality in the experience of spaces, as opposed to the marginality it holds in urban analysis and design models, the article advocates for the use of artistic-performative practices as a valid methodological channel to make traditional approaches sensitive to the understanding and transformation of places. The hypothesis is that body-based artistic experiences, included in territorial design processes, can contribute to re-signifying places and provide design reflections in the perspective of a ‘performative urbanism’. These hypotheses are investigated through an experience of co-designing and co-construction promoted in Palermo by the Eco-museum “Mare Memoria Viva”, in which methods from the performing arts were used.

In this paper we note that urban feminism reclaims an organization of spaces for women’s needs, those related to daily life, private and public, hence considers it essential to act for a change in urban design, still predominantly based on patriarchal models. We therefore aim at tracing a design path for a change in city planning that considers the care as an ethical paradigm of social relations which is able to weaken male dominance. Although it is clear how much physical spaces affect social relations and processes, our hypothesis is that, to design change, we need to reveal the social and cultural conditions of those subjects who make urban spaces sensitive to a plurality of needs. Specifically, we assume that women mobilize social relations capable of transforming the urban spaces that have kept them on the margins, and just for this they act for their change. We have observed how the caring relationship, to which women have traditionally been socialized in the private sphere, in our times has moved to the public sphere. We therefore postulate that this relationship could become inclusive of different genders and statuses and, therefore, build those social processes that oppose the reproduction of patriarchal logics in city planning. Care, now a private relational paradigm, would become an ethical and relational paradigm, thus generating a social process that should be considered important for redesigning urban spaces.

Feminist geography and epistemologies, since their beginnings, have encouraged us to start again from our bodies as situated geographies, from their experiences and embodied knowledge, to expose the power relations produced by the capitalist heteropatriarchal order and imprinted in the surrounding spaces. The body represents both the privileged dimension from which dynamics of violence, oppression and exploitation are experienced, and the place where new counter-hegemonic practices and forms of embodied knowledge may be produced. Starting with the notion of Wasteocene (2021) – an era marked by the continuous production of cast-off people, communities and places – by the landscape historian Marco Armiero, I will cross some toxic narratives typical of our society, all dear to neoliberal carelessness that inexorably produce waste and marginality. Opposed to these toxic discursive relations and constructions are the commoning practices, as those collective practices that simultaneously generate common goods and communities oriented towards care and inclusion. Along this path, I will present the Queerinale project promoted by the Agapanto Association for the conversion of a disused public building into a collaborative housing for LGBTQ+ elderly in the city of Rome, to re-signify our housing models and suggest new orientations for public policies.

Among the diverse and intricate social practices that shape a new urban mosaic, woven on dynamics escaping any precise and definitive definition, new patterns of city use are established and consolidated based on the 'vital infrastructure of care', which retrieves the value of a connective tissue transversal to new forms of urbanity, and in which women's activity and experience play a central role at every latitude. Many theories and practices bring together territorialist and feminist reflections. To date, however, these two horizons have often followed parallel routes and rarely met. It would be desirable to open a common path, albeit still with uncertain and non-definitive steps. The article explores some possible research trails that could represent interesting opportunities for cross-fertilisation of knowledge.

What kind of initiative is gendered enterprise? Do projects that make art a driver for local development have a gendered relationship with the spaces they manage and the contexts that host them? Starting from these research questions, the article offers a narrative of the action developed to collect experiences and activation practices that in Naples have triggered, through art, processes of redevelopment and/or rethinking and adaptive reuse of architecture and open spaces in marginal contexts of the city. For this in-progress mapping, the ‘rioni’ (districts) Sanità and Forcella were selected as pilot study areas, since their features allow for the experimentation of the survey protocol. In this complex context of the historical city, different kinds of female enterprise, apt to generate practices of care for space and spaces of care, are being explored, outlining the contribution of new feminisms to the city of social inclusion and spatial equity. The interviews with the key actors collected during a field survey performed using a mixed methodology, the comparison with similar experiences and the participation in actions in space turn the spotlight on opportunities, difficulties, unleashed energies and latent resources. The mapping of gender-sensitive culture-led practices aims at shedding light on issues and on networking skills apt to nurture generative and regenerative capacity.

The centrality of care work and its enhancement, exemplified, within the framework of this text, by the special relationship of women with water and with the 'domestic' tasks related to it (such as washing clothes), is a highly topical issue, since the guidelines of the 2030 Agenda aim to achieve more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable human settlements. This article intends to reflect, from a gender perspective, on the spatio-temporal consequences of the expulsion process, from the public and collective sphere, of certain activities historically carried out by women, which have been relegated to the private sphere of the home. After briefly analyzing some case studies that represent a clear reversal of this trend, within the framework of a round trip from public to private spheres that passes through ‘sharing’, the urgent need to find a space-time, suitable for these activities, is argued. To this end, on the one hand, it is necessary to promote the visibility of the historical memory of the laundries in an active and effective way, through mapping actions that go beyond the anecdotal framework of certain musealization practices that aim at the mere preservation of an inanimate object; on the other, the incorporation of new design criteria into urban and collective housing policies, which facilitate a more equitable and sustainable distribution of care tasks, is a priority objective.

Combining feminism and architecture means understanding and designing the spaces we inhabit through a gender perspective capable of overturning stereotypes and clichés, unfortunately still widespread despite the research developed by many feminist scholars. These have initiated a new historical perspective that has changed the methodologies of analysis, bringing out many women who were left in the shadows. Recomposing memories to build gender genealogies and elaborating theoretical reflections to give substance to feminist approaches have been the two most recurring approaches, to which a third line of reflections and practices is being added, more recently, related to the design approach. The article briefly retraces some emblematic figures of recent history and then dwells on contemporary projects in which, finally, women are key actors in imagining, proposing, and creating an inclusive city that knows how to take charge of everyone’s needs, but also desires, at an intergenerational and intersectional level. Alongside the work of memory, the elaboration of a knowledge that is not neutral, but positioned on our being women, enables implementation practices that shape and give life to new types of space in which it becomes possible to break old dichotomies and gender discriminations.
