1270 | 614 | Postpolitical environmentalism in Romanian virgin forests | Alexandru Gavriș; Mircea Gherghina

With the help of topic modelling we explore how the Romanian virgin forests transform under postpolitical environmentalism. We attempt to capture the web of relations that set the scene for a consensus over managerial and nonextractivist agenda where elites are called to action towards setting a surveillance technology in public discourse. The painted picture of a system of surveillance that would replace a political governance system clashes behind a political spectacle that sees a network of NGOs, local governments, and members of the wood industry’s supply chain reveal the shortcomings of technological fixes. It is therefore essential to clarify how networks endorsing the environment intervene and shape the forest governance, trying to advance specific views of ecological rationalities and national exceptionalism aligned within technologies of governance. First, we highlight this dynamic of valuation that may allow for a new imaginary to emerge, one where the local exploitative practices need to move along the treadmill of production towards the sustainability paradigm. A non-performing existing forest governance acts like a vacuum of power that allows alternative imaginaries of conservation to clash with a muddy, tacitly understood local informal economy that feeds into a global supply chain that takes virgin forest wood from hyperlocalized informal arrangements to a production pipeline that transcends borders. This renders virgin forests not only as a spatial dichotomy between localized yet global, but also as a space in need of intervention from actors removed from its materiality, with yet to be articulated stakes in its governance. Second, this research analyzes the struggle over meaning that we argue constitutes a strategy suited for harmonising a contested view on forests governance. The two endeavors allow us to uncover the insights of interactions framing power that advances in a context of (imaginaries projections over) environmental contentiousness.

China faces significant challenges to supply its urban-rural development with energy while reducing carbon_x000D_
emissions. Residential consumption, which is the second-most important source of carbon emissions following_x000D_
industry, has gradually been receiving attention. However, there are fewer studies that systematically investigate_x000D_
rural and urban residential emissions separately, and the future of residential emissions is uncertain given_x000D_
changes in the economic and social drivers. We used 20 years of energy consumption data from 30 provinces in_x000D_
China and panel regression models to analyze how urban and rural carbon emissions have changed over time and_x000D_
space. We then simulated three future scenarios of residential carbon emissions based on the framework of_x000D_
Shared Socioeconomic pathways. We conclude that there has been considerable growth in per capita rural_x000D_
emissions, largely due to population increases, especially during the periods 2004–2012 and 2012–2018. Overall_x000D_
emissions have declined though, likely due to an adjustment of energy intensity. Both rural and urban emissions_x000D_

1270 | 856 | Quantifying land flow embodied in interregional trade and its repercussions for carbon emissions in China | Shengfu Yang

The interregional flow of land embodied in remote linkages exerts a significant impact on land use and carbon emission transfer patterns among regions, underscoring the importance of investigating this process for sustainable land utilization. Based on a multiregional input‒output model, this study quantifies the embodied land flow and its repercussions for carbon emissions in China, analyzes the corresponding spatial distribution and differences, and further clarifies the characteristics of embodied land flow by constructing the contribution and dependency index. The results show that more economically developed regions occupy land in less developed regions through embodied land flow, and there are differences in the flow of various land types among regions due to disparities in regional endowments. For example, embodied construction land has primarily moved to economically developed eastern China. The transfer pattern of carbon emissions from land use caused by embodied land flows presents a spatial inconsistency. The developed coastal provinces of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai all transfer more than 10 million tons of carbon emissions to other regions. The average levels of contributions to and dependence on embodied land flows in Chinese provinces were 20.51% and 23.13% in 2012, and these values rose to 27.14% and 27.23% in 2017, respectively, indicating a strengthening of interregional land system linkages and an intensification of land supply and demand. Furthermore, the embodied land flow and its associated carbon emission transfer can be assessed to ascertain the entities responsible for land consumption and carbon emissions. This underscores the significance of examining the interplay between land use and carbon emissions in shaping sustainable development pathways.

1266 | 867 | Caring City: Transforming the city to sustain Life | Blanca Valdivia

The concept of care has become popular in recent years, coinciding with the rise of feminism, though academic study in the area dates back to the eighties. Care is now a recurrent topic on political agendas and also on urban agendas. However, care is still feminised_x000D_
Beyond its feminisation, care in itself can generate inequality. This situation is consistent across the board, across all care-related positions, including workers in the care industry and carers of dependent people or people with functional diversity who look after themselves or others._x000D_
The precarious nature of care is closely linked to its spatial and temporal dimension. The lack of social appreciation for care translates as public policies that do not cover the needs deriving from sustainability of life when, for example, public spaces are designed, mobility networks and timetables are organised, and cultural, social, sport or leisure programmes are drawn up._x000D_
Care is heterogeneous and continuous. There is no one kind of childhood or old age, just like there is no standard type of dependency or disability. Therefore, the qualities of the space designed to accompany care must take this diversity into account. Putting care on the political and urban agenda means emphasising both the precise conditions required for it to be provided and the need for radical transformation, in which responsibility for care goes from being assigned mainly to women in the private sphere to becoming part of a social, collective and community commitment._x000D_
At Col·lectiu Punt 6, we have been calling for a change in urban model for years. We want a caring city: a city that cares for us, cares for our environment, lets us care for ourselves and enables us to care for others. _x000D_

1266 | 222 | Beyond gender-neutral policy: the impact of fare-free public transport on women’s mobility | Monika Maciejewska

The academic literature and transportation planning agendas have increasingly focused on considering gender in urban and transportation policies. However, feminist scholars, activists, and politicians believe that there is still a long way to go to achieve gender equality. Many policies have the potential to promote gender equity, but they have not been recognized as such. Specifically, the idea of fare-free public transport has been discussed and designed as a policy that does not consider gender differences._x000D_
_x000D_
Around the world, women make up the majority of public transport users. Due to limited access to cars, they often rely on public transport for trips that require motorized means, either due to the distance or inadequate infrastructure for active mobility such as walking or cycling. Many of these trips are related to care responsibilities, where women invest their economic and time resources to meet dependents’ mobility needs and run household errands. Additionally, women tend to have lower wages or no income at all, making the cost of a ride a significant factor in their budget, potentially influencing their travel patterns. _x000D_
_x000D_
The purpose of this study is to explore the intersection of mobility, gender, and transport policy by examining the potential gendered impacts of fare-free public transport policies. Specifically, the study aims to discuss how such policy may affect the travel behavior and access to opportunities of women and men differently._x000D_

1266 | 279 | Fare-free travel for women: Infrastructure and policymaking in action | Sreelakshmi Ramachandran

Fare-free programmes have been piloted all over the world, and Indian cities have seen an uptake in recent years as well, with the feature that this benefit is extended to only women citizens. The national capital, New Delhi was the first to offer fare-free rides for women in the city’s buses in 2019. The state of Tamil Nadu piloted its Zero-Ticket Bus Travel (ZTBT) scheme for women in the state capital Chennai in 2021 and has since extended it to other urban areas. Evaluations of these programmes show that low-income women overwhelmingly benefit from these schemes and report positive relationships with independent mobility, access to economic opportunities, and human dignity. Since the last year, Chennai has constituted a “Gender & Policy Lab”, with the goal to mainstream gender in the city’s functioning, through a safety audit of transport infrastructures in the city, and other ways to improve women’s active mobility and transit usage. However, it is essential to place such women’s empowerment moves in a larger landscape of policymaking that relies on “expert-citizens” (Lopez & Montero, 2018) and “trendy urbanists” (Whitney, 2022) to co-constitute progressive agendas involving infrastructured safety, increased walkability or bike-ability, rapid, emission-free, and noiseless mobility, in line with a globalised aesthetic of the neoliberal city. There are also other urban experimental efforts such as Urban Living Labs underway in Indian cities: they espouse mobility innovation through infrastructural upgrades like electric mobility, “comfortable” mass transit, complete streets, and bike lanes when a majority of urban dwellers are captive in low carbon mobilities due to issues of access and/or affordability. This paper proposes that as Indian cities roll out programmes for women’s mobility, they also need to contend with contradictions in their citizenry and be wary of infrastructural solutionism (Schwanen et al., 2011) that has pervaded epistemological approaches.

1266 | 304 | Cable de Ciudad Bolívar y manzana de cuidado SuperCADE-Manitas. Un ejemplo de política e intervención urbana con mirada diferencial y de género en Bogotá -Colombia | Jimena Murillo-Munar; Oriol Marquet


El estudio del cuidado y más recientemente de la movilidad del cuidado evidencia como el género y las condiciones físicas de las personas inciden directamente en cómo se habita, se apropia y se recorre la ciudad. Así mismo, las políticas urbanas y las intervenciones físicas en la ciudad, como la construcción de equipamientos e infraestructuras de transporte público, inciden directamente en la accesibilidad al transporte y a los servicios urbanos, posibilitando o no la inclusión de los diferentes grupos de población. Esta ponencia muestra cómo ha respondido la administración pública de Bogotá a estos retos a través de la política del cuidado y específicamente la consolidación de la manzana del cuidado asociada al proyecto urbano y de transporte del cable de ciudad Bolívar y el superCADE Manitas. Inicialmente, con base en el análisis de la encuesta de movilidad para Bogotá del 2019, se evidencian las diferencias de género existentes en los desplazamientos diarios generados por motivo de cuidado entre los cuidadores, y el cómo inciden condiciones socioeconómicas y espaciales, como la pendiente y la oferta de equipamientos, en la movilidad de aquellos sujetos cuidados con condiciones de discapacidad

1266 | 314 | Gendered car use patterns in the 15-minute city. | Oriol Marquet; Monika Maciejewska

This study investigates the effects of living in a 15-minute city on driving behavior, focusing on Barcelona as a case study, and examines the potential gendered benefits of this urban model. The 15-minute city concept aims to create urban environments where everyday destinations are accessible within a 15-minute walk, thereby reducing car dependency and promoting sustainable mobility. The gender dimension is of particular interest, as urban mobility patterns are known to differ between men and women, with women often engaging in more complex, multi-purpose trips and relying on walking and public transport to a greater extent._x000D_
_x000D_
Using a highly-detailed 15-minute city map based on a grid of 100x100m and estimated walking travel times to a total of 27 everyday destinations, we examine whether living in high accessibility conditions leads to fewer car trips and shorter distances traveled by car. We employ a hurdle model to identify whether the decision to drive is specifically affected by living in a 15-minute city, or whether users drive with the same frequency but for shorter distances._x000D_
_x000D_
Our findings indicate that residents in high accessibility areas exhibit significantly reduced car usage, in terms of trip frequency but not so much in distances traveled. Furthermore, we find that women, in particular, benefit from living in 15-minute city conditions, as their travel patterns are better aligned with this urban model. This leads to increased mobility options, reduced time spent on travel, and greater access to amenities and services, ultimately contributing to gender equity in urban mobility._x000D_
_x000D_
This study sheds light on the importance of considering gender dynamics in the planning and implementation of 15-minute city concepts, and highlights the potential of this urban model to create more equitable, sustainable, and livable urban environments for all residents.

1266 | Transformative urbanism under the gender lens. | Oriol Marquet (1); Monika Maciejewska (2)

In recent years, a new wave of transformative urbanism aims to re-shape our cities to be more livable, sustainable, and inclusive. These initiatives aim to intervene in the built environment to force travel and transportation behavior change towards achieving sustainable development goals. Some examples of these movement are the creation of superblocks, which prioritize pedestrians and cyclists over cars, and 15-minute cities, which ensure that residents have access to essential services and amenities within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. Together, these approaches aim to promote healthier, more equitable, and more resilient urban environments for all. While these policies are becoming increasingly popular around the world, and pursue lofty goals, they are often heavily centralized and developed in a strong top-down manner, opening up the possibility for negative consequences. To date, not much is known on the exact impacts of these policies on people’s everyday behavior and wellbeing.
This session proposal aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss innovative and inclusive approaches to urban transportation. We welcome submissions that focus on the social impacts of fare-free public transport and 15-minute cities, and particularly encourage those that analyze these policies through a gender lens. By examining how these policies impact genders differently and identifying ways to make them more equitable for all, we aim to foster a thought-provoking and engaging discussion on the potential of these policies to create more inclusive and sustainable cities.
Potential topics for submissions for this session include but are not limited to:

Impact of fare-free public transport on women’s mobility and access to employment opportunities in a specific city.
Supeblocks and transport equity
Bike infrastructure connectivity and equal access opportunities
Gendered barriers to accessing and utilizing 15-minute cities and future policy recommendations for addressing them.
Examination of the implementation and outcomes of fare-free public transport in cities with different levels of gender equality.
Accumulative disadvantages and intersectionality. Low-income women and non-binary individuals.

We look forward to receiving a diverse range of submissions that bring together different perspectives and approaches to this important topic. We encourage innovative types of working methodologies, either qualitative or quantitative research.  Interdisciplinary approaches bringing together different perspectives will be highly appreciated.   presentations + Q&AAbstracts in catalan, spanish or english are all welcome

1266 | 35 | Gender relations in new suburban housing estates: What does transformative urban-ism actually transform? | Henriette Bertram


Suburban residential quarters have been criticised to foster unequal gender relations. Especially the spatial layout of the housing estates and the car-oriented transport infrastructure were seen as problematic. Gender-sensitive planning has emerged in the 1990s and promised that improved and more flexible spaces, tailored to the needs of women as well as men and especially caregivers of all genders, would bring about more opportunities for all and thereby, eventually, gender equality. It has been argued, however, that a recognition of reproductive tasks by planning better infrastructure does not bring about equality but merely eases the burden for the main caregivers._x000D_
Many cities across Europe are currently planning new expansion projects at the outskirts. These aspire to differ from earlier ones, especially in terms of infrastructure provision and the multifuncionality of spaces. One of these projects is Hamburg-Oberbillwerder. Its master plan has a strong focus on transportation: Guiding principles are, firstly, the “Connected City” which aims to connect OBW to the neighbouring districts as well as to Hamburg’s city centre, and, secondly, the “Active City” which is to contribute to exercise and a healthy lifestyle based on walking and cycling. Mobility Hubs will significantly reduce stationary traffic and add to a lively atmosphere. _x000D_
In my presentation, I will discuss the plans for the new district based on a qualitiative content analysis. I will show that many of the demands of feminist and gender-sensitive planning and transport critique have been incorporated, making suburban transport less car-dependent, more diverse and more accessible for all. A decidedly feminist/care-oriented perspective, however, has not been applied so that planning in this respect remains on a tactic level. A transformation of reproductive relations cannot be expected and is – unlike the transformation of travel behaviour – not seen as lying within the responsibility of planners
