Feminist City is an ongoing experiment in living differently, living better, and living more justly in an urban world.We live in the city of men. Our public spaces are not designed for female bodies.

Nothing is more inspiring than a big vision that becomes a triumphant, new reality. Think of how the Empire State Building went from a sketch to the jewel of New York's skyline in twenty-one months, or how Apple's iPod went from a project with a single employee to a product launch in eleven months.
