This contribution presents an ex-post evaluation of the Girls Make the City! project, an initiative launched in Brussels to explore the potential of young women’s empowerment in inclusive urban regeneration. Situated at the intersection of feminist practices, participatory spatial transformation, and critical pedagogy, the project aimed to amplify the voice and agency of adolescent girls in a structurally marginalised neighborhood. The analysis employed an evolutionary evaluation approach grounded in theoretical principles of intersectionality, Theory of Change, and realistic evaluation. A qualitative framework was reconstructed ex-post by analysing the case study. Six key evaluative criteria emerged: active engagement of diverse groups, collective re-signification of public space, transferability of acquired competences, emergence of cross-group dialogues and alliances, durability of spatial transformation, and urban care practices. These dimensions reflect transformative mechanisms relevant for equity-oriented urban policies. The project demonstrates how feminist and participatory practices can serve as effective levers for urban regeneration, advancing spatial justice and inclusion. The adoption of adaptive and context-sensitive evaluation frameworks is essential to make visible the social and cultural impacts of such initiatives and to inform future urban strategies.
