Cities and Gender

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Offers a systematic treatment of urban and gender studies combined. This book presents both a feminist critique of mainstream urban policy and planning and a gendered reorientation of key urban social, environmental and city-regional debates. It looks behind the 'headlines' on issues of transport, housing, uneven development, and regeneration.
