Through her research, Sneha Visakha examines how urban space is produced and the exclusionary logics underpinning it, particularly focusing on women’s experiences in the city. Her work engages with feminist urbanism as a means for imagining and realizing cities that pave the way for liberatory futures.

Through the podcast series, the “Feminist City” Visakha promotes public engagement with feminist urbanism as an approach to reimagine cities. Through in-depth interviews with academics, researchers, activists and practitioners, her podcast explores feminist approaches that can provide solutions to the numerous vexing problems affecting cities globally, from violence against women to tackling climate change.

Trained as a lawyer, she has authored numerous research publications on various aspects of feminist and disability inclusive planning approaches to cities. Her writing has been published in various national and international platforms on cities and her research contributed to efforts in Glasgow to adopt feminist urban planning as official policy. Presently, she is a doctoral researcher in anthropology at Brandeis University, Massachusetts, USA where she focuses on women’s mobility, urban sacred sites and public space in India.
