Abstract
Planners are increasingly applying inclusive city concepts to help address economic polarisation and spatial segregation challenges within our cities. However, the concept of the inclusive city is stuck in cisnormative and heteronormative structures that produce inequalities for gender and sexual minorities. Drawing on walk‐along interviews with participants in Wellington, we explored the experience of urban New Zealand spaces among people who identify as takatāpui and LGBTIQ+. Qualitative and quantitative data were analysed to highlight inclusive and/or exclusive spaces for takatāpui and LGBTIQ+ people. These experiences will help better inform planners when designing spaces to be more inclusive for all.
