Feminist Knowledge

The event is part of #STEMintheCity.

The proposal for dialogue “Feminist Knowledge. Metropolitan Cartography and Remote Sensing Digital Spatial Analysis tool as open-access resources in future multicultural society” focuses on the contextualization of information related to new Metropolitan Landscapes in transition with technological and digital tools. The aim is to provide a synthesis of vivid knowledge of physical space through a new Spatio-temporal perception of the metropolitan context according to female knowledge to action tools for spatial image-learning approach. Currently, the processes of metropolization are celebrated as exchanges of potential energy, in economic and political fields of action, and possible spaces of access to social and business benefits for metropolitan women. Nevertheless, in the stereotype of the Metropolis as a generator of wealth and well-being, the issue of gender and urban prosperity in Education, Training, and Human Capital towards a new Leadership was highlighted only by UN-Habitat’s State of Women in Cities in 2013. The Dialogue aims to investigate Sustainable and Inclusive spatial solutions at different scales, with inter-disciplinary female experts’ perspectives from academia, professional setting, and civic society. The purpose is to discover how it is possible to develop and improve sharable knowledge to action for education, and management skills by considering metropolitan project strategies that include: environment, society, green economy, and governance from women professionals and researchers’ experience. The discussion would aim to explore the implications of the use of technologies to create, model, interpolate information and technologies as new drivers of shared knowledge in the field of urban and architectural design. In particular, Metropolitan Cartography is presented as the digital visual-based research method, through which the value of technologies is connected to maps’ power that allows to reason about the new quality of the city space and re-newed feeling of belonging for citizens at the Metropolitan.
