This paper starts from the consciousness of how to make women's place in urban space. And criticized the spatiality of women- friendly cities that are zoned into women's spaces in urban public areas. This is linked to the issue of how to redefine women's space in the controversy of misogynyㅡ, which is expanding beyond the women-friendly frame. I examined the representation pattern of the dichotomous urban space constructed by the gender grammar. As the modern urban space moved into the postmodern period, the female subjects were invited to urban space actively, but the position of women was still represented to serve as patriarchal capitalism supplement and reinforcement mechanism. On the other hand, women- friendly cities can be seen as the agenda of urban practice to represent women's space beyond gender dichotomy fixed in our society. However, the visible spatial production of ‘safe space creation’, which focuses most on this agenda, has confirmed that the results are still being reproduced and expanded on aggression/defense, safety/risk, and man/woman gender dichotomy. We should converge the voices of various women, rather than zoning women's affinities in the partitioned space order as a share of the allocation. In this sense, It is important to signify the voices of women in the center of the city in recent years as a process of women's intervention and negotiation on the social production of space and re-contextualize them with the frame of a ‘woman-friendly city’. In this paper, it is implied that it is connected to ‘paradoxical space politics’ beyond the boundary of G. Rose and ‘the politics of encounter’ of A. Merrifield.
