title: Her 20-minute city: A critical feminist review of womens experiences of the 20-minute neighbourhood in Corstorphine Edinburgh

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.
