The transformation of central neighbourhoods and the mobilization and evolution of the right to the city for women: the case of the Sainte-Marie neighbourhood in Montreal
The article focuses on the mobilization initiated by the Comité d’action locale du Centre d’éducation et d’action des femmes in response to the implementation of an integrated urban revitalization strategy (IUR) in the Sainte-Marie neighbourhood in Montreal. Our case study aims to demonstrate that this mobilization allows women to claim their right to the city by participating in the system of governance established for the sector, thereby allowing them to present their difficulties and to develop a commitment and a sense of belonging to their living environment.
