Abstract

This chapter focuses on the possibilities and power of crowd-mapping as a feminist method for shaping urban space. Recognizing that women and girls have been historically excluded from urban discourse, the opportunity provided by crowd-sourced media to express their experiences of city spaces and their struggle and hope for social justice is new. As a democratic process, crowd-mapping can lead to action and solving real-world issues. With a view to harnessing crowd-mapped voices, and to extending socio-cultural understanding of cities, the possibility of more inclusive cities is revealed.
