Changing the Plan: How “Feminist Cities” and Feminist Political Ecology Can Inform More Equitable and Climate- Just City Planning Practice

This essay seeks to identify “feminist cities” and intersectional feminist-informed planning practice as one framework to achieve climate justice in an urban planning context. Planning for a climate-changed future will require an intent focus on adaptability and a critical, intersectional feminist approach, both in our planning for climate impacts and our ability to adapt to new and changing urban problems. By centering climate-feminist solutions in our planning efforts, we can embrace transformational planning models and dare to imagine a future worth planning for.
