Exploring the intersection of urban and gender studies, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of how men and women experience city life differently. It critiques mainstream urban policy and planning from a feminist perspective while also reorienting essential debates in urban social, environmental, and regional contexts through a gendered lens. This systematic treatment aims to highlight the co-constitutive nature of gender and urbanism, addressing a significant gap in existing scholarship.
