dc.description.abstractUrban 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.en
