Résumé

Gender as a Way to Define more Equitative and Inclusive Cities: Constraints and Opportunities

 Usou-se como estudo de caso um projeto de requalificação urbanística em Vila Nova de Gaia – Portugal. Questionaram-se homens e mulheres, com diferentes estatutos hierárquicos, sobre o conceito de Qualidade de Vida Urbana, Cidade Ideal e o seu envolvimento na esfera pública. Usaram-se simultaneamente metodologias qualitativas e quantitativas, através do uso de questionários. Os resultados apontam para uma diversidade de perspectivas, não obstante uma imagem 'teórica' de cidade análoga entre géneros. Confirma-se a reduzida presença na esfera pública e lugares de decisão das mulheres. Sabendo que o planeamento urbano não é neutro, importa encontrar os instrumentos para ampliar a voz feminina na esfera de decisão.

Palavras-Chave: Género; Participação Pública; Planeamento Urbano; Qualidade de Vida Urbana.

 

 Abstract

An urban project in Vila Nova de Gaia –Portugal was taken as a case study. Women and men, with different hierarchical status, were asked to define urban life quality, the ideal city model and her/his commitment to the public sphere. It were simultaneously used both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, by means of questionnaires. The results point out to a diversity of perspectives, although there is a consensual “theoretical” city model (quantitative approach), which is analogous in both genders . It was confirmed the little presence of women in the public sphere and in decision-maker positions. Gender mainstreaming has shown that urban planning is not neutral, it’s important to find a way to raise women voices among decision-makers.

Keywords: Gender; Public Participation; Urban Planning; Urban Life Quality.
