Abstract
Within the current trend of moving back to a city of the past, walkability is presented as one of the possible solutions to ensure a healthier, more sustainable and resilient future. With a very similar objective but with a more critical and holistic vision, feminist urbanism seeks to break with a dichotomy that has left the minority groups out of the city. This study looks at the elements that both concepts work with to create a synergy between them to ensure future joint work. Currently, the city of Barcelona, among many others, is implementing policies in the field of mobility to improve the livability of the city, but the city council has gone a step further and has opted for an intersectional feminist perspective as a working methodology. The merge of both walkability and feminist urbanism within the city might be an example of the possibility of both together as well as a way of learning what’s effective and what is not.
