Cities and Gender by Helen Jarvis
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."This book makes an important contribution to urban studies and gender studies by combining a discussion of the Global South with urban scholarship that has focused on Europe and the US, bridging the gaps that keep us from seeing important worldwide continuities and connections"
Professor Jessica Sewell, Boston University, USA
"Cities and Gender provides a detailed ethnographic analysis demonstrating how gendered power relations are manifest in the structure of cities and everyday life within. At last, an accessible and incisive text that succeeds in intertwining urban and gender analysis." Diane Perrons, London School of Economics, UK
