It is proposed to reflect on the contributions of gender as an analytical category and political concept to operationalize the right to the city. It exposes some elements of the work presented at the first meeting of the Network of Popular Settlements about the right to the city: conflicts and disputes over urban territory.

It also reflects on the responses regarding habitat policy and the construction of territoriality, in the context of the disciplinary challenges of the right to the city and new problems, advances and backward movement of the neoliberal advance in the region.
