Spatialities of feminist urban politics: networking for ‘fair shared cities’ in Central and Eastern Europe

Abstract

ABSTRACT The spatialities of feminist urban politics are investigated by combining the concept of multiple converging spatialities of contentious politics with the recent literature on policy mobilities and urban movements. The research begins with the hypothesis that networks are significant mediators of feminist urban politics, but their effects depend on other, converging spatialities as well. The presented case study of the Viennese Fair Shared City model illustrates the value of such analytical perspective. The results indicate that this model is deeply rooted in the Viennese environment, challenged by its recent transformation, unevenly circulating through various scientific and policy networks across the Central and Eastern Europe region.
