Urbanism and feminist architecture are those that provide citizens with a dignified space, seeking to meet their needs and address their issues, making them feel a part of their own city. Similarly, it aims to eliminate the segregation that exists due to physical, social, economic, etc., differences.

The way we build the city cannot be considered indifferent to inequalities related to gender relations, where one gender possesses more power and freedom than the other, thus generating asymmetrical spaces both in the public and private spheres in our city.
