Abstract: The incorporation of a gender perspective in urban design has gained importance since the 1960s and 1970s, focusing on how city layouts can ease caregiving responsibilities and promote gender equality. Feminist urbanism advocates for redesigning cities to prioritize life and social reproduction, emphasizing the need for infrastructure that recognizes the essential role of caregiving and supports the well-being of both caregivers and recipients. This approach highlights the importance of urban policies aimed at reducing the time and effort required for caregiving task.
