%X 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.
