   On Feminist Capital Cities / Dorina Pojani

   We have been talking extensively about housing this season but have not really looked at the identity of the cities within which it exists. In today’s episode, we zoom out a little to take stock of new capital cities and discuss their planning through the theoretical lens of feminism. Dorina Pojani is Associate Professor of urban planning at The University of Queensland, Australia. Her latest books are Trophy Cities: A Feminist Perspective on New Capitals (Edward Elgar, 2021) and Alternative Planning History and Theory (Routledge, 2023). Her forthcoming book is Early Planning Utopias: A Feminist Critique (Anthem, 2025). About Dorina: https://about.uq.edu.au/experts/11894
