Gender planning is a long-established means of ensuring the quality of life in many cities. With regard to BETTER LIVING, however, we need to do more than merely create a city that is suitable for everyday life. In this context, the strategy of intersectional feminism could provide a basis for many things: a multiple view of a city’s problems, activism for an inclusive public realm, radical new housing typologies, and co-habitation with nature. A true caring city is inconceivable without an intersectional feminist perspective. This starts with the fair distribution and payment of all care work, which is fundamental to everything. BETTER LIVING & FEMINISM deals with intersectional feminist strategies for creating a BETTER LIVING for all, i.e. for a life beyond families, post-private spaces, supportive structures, and potential commons in a future caring city.
