Abstract
Feminist planners have long been interested in uncovering the gendered exclusions which persist within urban spaces. This research examines the 20-minute neighbourhood which claims to create efficient cities. Feminist literature emphasises that gender identity positions and impacts on your lived experience of space. The types of everyday socio-spatial interactions that exclude women remain understudied in urban studies. Does the 20-minute planning concept respond to women’s needs? This qualitative research uses participatory mapping, intensive walking interviews and a focus group discussion to examine how female residents in a traditional Scottish suburb experience gender exclusion through their everyday negotiation of their neighbourhood. Their experiences are critically appraised against the Scottish interpretation of the 20-minute neighbourhood model. The results point to a disconnect between the planned implementation of the 20 minute neighbourhood and a continued ignorance and lack of recognition of how women’s experiences could inform successful implementation and behavioural change.
