‘Indeed, it all starts with safety’: analysing the gender perspective through (un)safety rationale in Basque urban governance
(Routledge, 2026) Ezquerecocha Díez, Marta; Sandberg, Linda
Urban policies with a gender perspective in the Basque Country have evolved significantly over the decades, yet persistent challenges remain in addressing deep-rooted spatial and gendered power inequalities. This article investigates how gender is problematized and governed through the lens of (un)safety in Basque urban governance. Based on an in-depth analysis of municipal policy documents and interviews with planning and equality professionals, the study reveals how (un)safety operates as a central logic that renders gender perspectives actionable and politically legible. While this framing enables interdepartmental collaboration and facilitates the implementation of gender-sensitive interventions, it also risks narrowing the scope of gender equality work to technical fixes, thereby silencing more structural and intersectional concerns.
