ABSTRACT
This paper aims to shed light on recent attempts to put gender issues on the agenda of municipalities and urban planning actors in France. Our case studies in Greater Paris and Lyon raise important questions: How to construct a “right to the gendered city” that does not overrule other rights? How to acknowledge difference in a way that does not define some publics and neighbourhoods as needing help, and others as needing to be made more secure? We suggest that thinking in terms of “spatial justice” can help frame the discussion of inclusiveness from an intersectional perspective.
