Abstract

This paper analyses how the relationship between gender, domestic and public space can be seen as a way to reinforce roles or subvert them. In this context, it is essential to show how gender relations are structured socially through urban spaces, especially how limits established by stereotypes of feminine mysticism are understood as a set of discourses and presuppositions about a passive femininity that block the participation of women in the struggle for the city. An international reference framework is constructed to illustrate how different urban struggles demystify this image. Through a case study at Pedregal de Santo Domingo in Mexico City is analysed how they are the ones that often build parallel urban projects and inform against the neoliberal urban transformation that lurks their neighbourhoods.
