Sumario:This article addresses the intersection of care and territories, to show how and to what extent care infrastructures contribute to social redistribution in order to reduce the time women dedicate to care work, which they assume within the situated conditions of their territories. The question that guides our work is: who cares in neighborhoods and cities? To examine this, we used cartographies based on defined indicators, developing a geo-referencing instrument that allows us to show the situated conditions in the intersection of: women, their dependents, economic income, existence of care infrastructures, among others. The results show the importance of the variable of “territory” for a proper analysis on who cares in the city and neighborhoods, in particular for those in conditions of greater vulnerability. Territory, time and space, mapped in cartographies, form a collaborative tool and a contribution to the design of policies and public works for care infrastructures.
