| Sumario: | Explorations of the ‘imagined city’ — the version of the city that exceeds its built environment — have informed contemporary texts that seek to reimagine cities in order to make them more hospitable to a range of Inhabitants.

It looks in particular at the role that ‘difference’ — feminist discourse plays in this project, and uses Spanish feminist practice to reflect on the role of the body and knowledge in the imagined city.
