Architektur, Raum, Geschlecht, GenderAbstract
The essays collected in this volume arise from the International Women’s University in 2000. Its contributions discuss conceptions of a city worth living in. Apart from describing the history of gender debates concerned with the city, the essays centre particularly around problems that urban life creates with regard to the division of social gender roles. The book shows the development and the different faces of a gender encoded city. However, despite expectations raised by the title, the book focuses on discourses on women, urbanism and architecture more than on gender. The contributors do refer to recent theories on gender and the “empowered subject”, but fail to integrate them into their actual analyses. Looking more for answers to severe social problems than to develop new theoretical questions, the book does nonetheless provide some good ideas for a sustainably fair city.Downloads
