City and Gender

This study systematically addresses urban and gender studies together. It offers both a feminist critique of mainstream urban policy and planning and a gender-based reorientation of fundamental urban debates on society, environment and city-region. The international case studies presented in the book alert the reader to the stark contrasts in life opportunities based on gender (the differences between the north and the south, as well as the disparities and disparities within these regions), while also highlighting the interdependencies that arise as a result of uneven development and unite the lives of men and women globally. underlines.

This book introduces the reader to previously neglected dimensions of gender-based critical urban analysis. In addition to closely examining social networks, gender conventions, welfare regimes and the local cultural environment, it also approaches these from a kind of household perspective. It offers students a solid conceptual foundation in the general structures of production, consumption and social reproduction, as well as sowing the seeds of interdisciplinary awareness and dialogue regarding the daily issues of urban residents living in developing and abundant world cities.

The book's format includes key definitions, "framed" concepts, and case studies, along with learning activities and additional reading texts tailored to each chapter. We think that this discussion, which is carried out both in the required time and effectively, will attract the attention of students, academicians and researchers.
