The idea of the feminist city involves a lot of economic justice work, but it goes far beyond that. It involves looking at city structures that are biased towards cis men. Public transit caters towards the "average commuter" who goes into the city at 9 and leaves at 5 and makes no stops, but gender marginalized people often do care work that requires multiple stops and switching routes. She talks about how gender marginalized people experience the city through their friendships. And she talks a lot about how a feminist city can't just center the most privileged women. Some of the "safety measures" geared towards making white women feel safer (like extra police presence) make the city more dangerous for people of color and homeless people.
This was such an amazing book, and I loved how it got me thinking in new ways.
