Abstract

Increased feminization of poverty has become an essential features of a process of two‐speed urban revitalization. It is therefore necessary to contextualize poverty from a gender perspective and to put forward strategies to cope with gendered poverty and exclusion at the neighbourhood and local levels. The essay also provides some examples of innovative initiatives to cope with a particular dimension of gender inequality and exclusion in cities, i.e. poverty of time. To overcome this, new time norms for organizing one's lifetime, one's professional career time and the regulation of the 'time of urban service provision’ can be developed. Several initiatives in Italian, French and Catalan cities have focused on working time and urban services provision schedules to increase women's opportunities to participate in economic and social‐cultural life and thus counter the exclusion spiral in which they had ended up.
