The dispossession of urban communities across class and racial lines is a global phenomenon linked to the expansion of international investment in the development of ‘exemplary’ city space. However, city evictions are also historically informed and gendered processes which are continuous with past colonial and postcolonial urban rationalisation projects. Drawing on testimonies of women evictees in Jakarta, as well as interviews with public housing managers, this article details the gendered nature of the rationalisation of urban life in the context of a contemporary evictions regime. We argue that the rationalisation of urban space serves to sharpen the gender order by placing material constraints on women's roles, limiting their economic activities and defining them as hygiene‐responsible housewives. Further, and in turn, the limited provision of ‘rusunawa’ public housing, which we show to be a gendered spatial and social transition informed by state doctrine on the family, provides the state with justification for dispossession itself. Finally, women's everyday acts of refusal and resistance show not only that kampung forms of social life continue to be preserved in Jakarta, but also that rationalisation itself is a negotiated and contingent process.

雅加达的城市驱逐，公共住房和甘榜生活的性别合理化

跨阶级和种族界线剥夺城市社区是全球现象，与发展“示范性”城市空间的国际投资的扩大有关。但是，城市迁离在历史上也是有根据的，而且性别化的过程在过去的殖民地和后殖民地城市合理化项目中是连续的。本文利用雅加达的女性被驱逐者的证词以及对公共住房经理的采访，详细介绍了在现代驱逐制度背景下城市生活合理化的性别特征。我们认为，城市空间的合理化通过对妇女的角色施加实质性限制，限制她们的经济活动并将她们定义为负责卫生的家庭主妇，从而加剧了性别秩序。进而，“ rusunawa”公共住房的有限提供（我们证明这是国家对家庭的教义促成的性别空间和社会转型），为国家提供了剥夺本身的理由。最后，妇女的日常拒绝和抵抗行为不仅表明，雅加达仍保留着甘榜形式的社会生活，而且合理化本身是一个经过谈判和偶然的过程。
