Cities around the world are increasingly expanding their sustainability agendas and adopting urban green and blue infrastructure planning as a strategy to become more resilient, healthy and sustainable. However, the development of urban greening governance often lacks a holistic vision that considers social inequities within the planning, implementation and management of green and blue spaces. Further, gender inequities have been a specific dimension particularly overlooked in urban greening planning, despite gender concerns gaining increasing political relevance in recent years. In this research, we assessed the extento to which social and gender equity are being considered in urban greening plans and projects at the local level. We chose Barcelona (Spain) as main case study due to its pioneering role in implementing crosscutting equity and gender policies at the municipal level. Building on document analysis and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, we examined how social justice and gender are understood and operationalized in practice, from the design phase to implementation and maintenance of greening projects. Our findings suggest a shift in the role of urban greening which evolved from an ornamental role to a multifunctional vision of greening and is recently incorporating equity and inclusivity concerns. We identified three action areas of inclusive, gender-sensitive urban green planning practices: first, the incorporation of inclusivity and care as guiding visible values to recognize multiple needs of city residents; second, urban design for different uses and perceptions of greenspaces, particularly in relation to accessibility and autonomy; and third, the awareness and expertise from municipal staff vis-à-vis the consideration of social and gender equity in green planning and participatory approaches. Finally, we provide practical examples of the strategies that the City of Barcelona is implementing in each area and discuss some challenges and limitations, including what we identify as ad hoc intersectional greening.

世界各地的城市越来越多地扩大其可持续发展议程，并将城市绿色和蓝色基础设施规划作为一种战略，以变得更具弹性、更健康和更​​可持续。然而，城市绿化治理的发展往往缺乏在绿色和蓝色空间的规划、实施和管理中考虑社会不平等的整体视野。此外，尽管性别问题近年来在政治上越来越重要，但性别不平等一直是城市绿化规划中特别被忽视的一个具体方面。在这项研究中，我们评估了在地方层面的城市绿化计划和项目中考虑社会和性别平等的程度。我们之所以选择巴塞罗那（西班牙）作为主要案例研究，是因为它在市政层面实施跨领域公平和性别政策方面发挥了先锋作用。在文件分析和对主要利益相关者的半结构化访谈的基础上，我们研究了从绿化项目的设计阶段到实施和维护的社会正义和性别在实践中是如何被理解和操作的。我们的研究结果表明，城市绿化的作用发生了转变，从装饰作用演变为多功能的绿化愿景，并且最近纳入了公平和包容性问题。我们确定了包容性、性别敏感的城市绿色规划实践的三个行动领域：首先，将包容性和关怀纳入指导可见价值观，以识别城市居民的多种需求；第二，针对不同用途和对绿地的看法的城市设计，特别是在可达性和自主性方面；第三，市政工作人员对在绿色规划和参与式方法中考虑社会和性别平等的认识和专业知识。最后，我们提供了巴塞罗那市在每个领域正在实施的战略的实际例子，并讨论了一些挑战和局限性，包括我们认为特设路口绿化。
