Abstract

In recent decades, design has increasingly engaged with cities through a multidisciplinary lens, akin to that of humanities and social science developments. Designers endeavour to adopt a cross-pollinated approach, strengthening interventions in complex and intricate systems such as contemporary cities. Public spaces are never neutral, as they have historically been designed, conceived and administered accord- ing to a norm that coincides with the concept of masculine universal thus ending up supporting and facilitating traditional gender roles, erroneously assuming that this represents a neutral universality. How can public space be designed to consider a plurality of perspectives?
