Life in the city creates spaces where women can experiment in new roles, challenge the natural order, claim new demands, and change ordinary representations and material constraints. In order to explore these changes, we need specific methodological tools that presuppose an approach of the city as both peopled and gendered and it has as priority the experiences and practices of women, the ways in which they contribute to urban development.
keywords: gender, everyday life, place /space, public/private, local/global, life strategies, everyday practices, Lefebvre
