Contemporary cities are often considered as a reflection of the society that inhabits in there. Urban planification has been historically shaped considering social, political and economic facts. But are cities designed contemplating every- one essentials and ways of life? How have gender studies and feminist perspec- tives influenced urban planification? Those questions are raised by Col·lectiu Punt 6, an interdisciplinary cooperative of architects, sociologists and urbanists, with different backgrounds, and all of them women, working in Barcelona since 2005. From a feminist perspective, go- ing beyond traditional gender binarism and proposing an intersectional analysis, their theories focus on the consideration of daily life as a central concept in urban planning. This essay attempts to contribute to the dissemination of feminist urbanism the- ories and to illustrate how they have been progressively developed in the specific case of the city of Barcelona.
