The following proposal aims to analyze how the lack of urban and territorial planning in a neoliberal socioeconomic context affects the incidence of local organizational spaces, paying particular attention to female and dissident participation. This proposal focuses in Chile, where the type of demands that are manifested are consequences of the segregation caused by the lack of social perspective in urban, housing and environmental policies in Chile.
Regarding the context of the investigation, Chile is in a process of constitutional change. This process is the result of two main milestones. The first was in 2018 and refers to the mobilization of female university students associated with the fourth feminist wave, and the second moment corresponds to the Chilean “Social Outbreak” (“Chile's Social Survey” or “Chile Woke Up”). The link between both moments materializes in the citizen triumph for the change of the Constitution in October 2019. The new Chilean Constitution is being drafted by a body elected entirely by popular vote and is, by law, paritary. In addition, it includes the participation of indigenous peoples and its currently being chaired by a Mapuche woman.
With this context in mind, this research will be fully developed with a gender perspective and a mixed methodology; and from a theoretical approach of critical political geography. The objective will be to identify whether there has been a feminization of both the vulnerability of local organizational spaces and the content of their demands, in order to analyze how a paradigm shift in planning can directly affect the reduction of gender specific vulnerability.
