Engendering Cities
«
"Engendering Cities is a brilliant and comprehensive account of how to make cities for all by ensuring that women are included in every aspect of their planning and development. It will be an enduring reference for all engaged in this work."
Eugenie L. Birch FAICP, Professor of Urban Research, University of Pennsylvania
"In the era of #MeToo, public attention is now firmly focused on the important issue of gender difference and gender justice. This serious and well-researched collection makes a substantial addition to an expanding literature on gender and urban planning. The section on transport and movement is particularly welcome. The collection demonstrates how an understanding of gender should be core to the theory and practice of planning."
Marion Roberts FHEA, Professor of Urban Design, University of Westminster
"Engendering Cities: Designing Sustainable Urban Spaces for All, focus[es] on the role of gender in the design of urban spaces including transportation, housing, public health, education, and infrastructure. The book provides useful insights for those in academia as well as practitioners in the public and private sectors.”
William Grady Holt, Birmingham-Southern College, for the Journal of Urban Affairs

Engendering Cities examines the contemporary research, policy, and practice of designing for gender in urban spaces. Gender matters in city design, yet despite legislative mandates across the globe to provide equal access to services for men and women alike, these issues are still often overlooked or inadequately addressed.

The book applies the current scholarship on theory and practice related to gender in a planning context, elaborating on some critical community-focused reflections on gender and design. It will be key reading for scholars and students of planning, architecture, design, gender studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, and political science. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers, providing discussion of emerging topics in the field.
