description This article reviews a theoretical and practical journey through different aspects of urban intervention and collaborative design in the Pedregal de Santo Domingo neighborhood, using as methodology a research circuit and participatory action (IAP). This text will be used as a pedagogical resource for urban planning, architecture, and students in other related disciplines interested in urban transformation. The first part of the article identifies positions, scales, and theoretical bases to develop a critical and ethical proposal in relation to urban planning, including feminism’s contributions, particularly those of grassroots feminism. This community perspective radically transforms ways of participating and habitat improvement. The second part contains an account of the experience of the Casa de las Mujeres "Ifigenia Martínez" project, collaborative cartographic analysis, and results from the workshops conducted with neighborhood women. Finally, the article includes a reflection on community experiences and challenges of urban planning and research, focusing on growing gender inequalities. It is concluded that urban practices geared towards the ethical dimension of planning and the application of feminist methodologies contribute to designing new spaces for coexistence and addressing insecurity and violence experienced by women.

En este artículo se resume un recorrido teórico y práctico por diferentes aspectos de la intervención urbana y el diseño colaborativo en la colonia Pedregal de Santo Domingo, México. Se utiliza como metodología un circuito de investigación-acción participativa (IAP). En la primera parte se identifican posturas, escalas y fundamentos teóricos para llegar a un posicionamiento crítico y ético ante la planificación urbana; se incluyen los aportes del feminismo, en particular del feminismo popular, y de la perspectiva comunitaria que transforma radicalmente la forma de participar y mejorar el espacio. La segunda parte contiene el relato sobre la experiencia del proyecto Casa de las Mujeres “Ifigenia Martínez”, el análisis cartográfico colaborativo y los resultados de los talleres realizados con las mujeres de la colonia. Por último, se incluye una reflexión sobre la experiencia comunitaria y los retos de la planificación e investigación urbanas, focalizada en las cada vez más amplias desigualdades de género. Se concluye que las prácticas urbanas que apuestan por la dimensión ética de la planificación y la aplicación de metodologías feministas contribuyen con el diseño de nuevos espacios para la convivencia y el enfrentamiento a la inseguridad y la violencia que experimentan las mujeres. Este artigo resume um percurso teórico e prático por diferentes aspectos de intervenção urbana e projeto colaborativo no bairro Pedregal de Santo Domingo, México. Um circuito de pesquisa-ação participativa (IAP) é utilizado como metodologia. Na primeira parte, são identificadas posturas, escalas e fundamentos teóricos para se chegar a um posicionamento crítico e ético diante do planejamento urbano. Incluem-se as contribuições do feminismo, particularmente o feminismo popular, e a perspectiva comunitária que transforma radicalmente a forma de participar e melhorar o espaço. A segunda parte, contém o relato da experiência do projeto Casa de las Mujeres "Ifigenia Martínez", a análise cartográfica colaborativa e os resultados das oficinas realizadas com as mulheres do local. Por fim, inclui uma reflexão sobre a experiência comunitária e os desafios do planejamento urbano e da pesquisa, com foco nas desigualdades de gênero cada vez mais abrangentes. Conclui-se que práticas urbanas comprometidas com a dimensão ética do planejamento e a aplicação de metodologias feministas contribuem para o desenho de novos espaços de convivência e enfrentamento da insegurança e violência vivenciadas pelas mulheres.
