A FUR Manifesto
As a practitioner of feminist urbanism, I assert that the act of traversing the city—by bicycle, light rail, or other collective modes—is not merely a logistical choice but a political one. The streets we navigate, the infrastructures we inhabit, and the systems we endorse are inseparable from the project of democracy itself. Urbanism, in this framing, is not an end but a vehicle: a mechanism to dismantle hierarchies of space, gender, and power. However let us be unequivocal: the goal is not urbanism. The goal is a functioning and flexible democracy.
