Planning is currently a male-dominated profession, but an analysis
of a century of town planning reveals this to be a new development;
women have been central to the planning movement since it began.
"Women and Planning" is a comprehensive history and analysis of
women and the planning movement, covering the philosophical,
practical and policy dimensions of "planning for women". Beyond the
marginalization of women, modern, scientific planning hides a story
of past links with eugenics, colonialism, artistic, utopian and
religious movements and the occult. Central to the discussion is
how male planners have created planning in their own image,
projecting patriarchal assumptions in their creation of "urban
realities". Issues of class, sexuality, ethnicity and disability
are raised by the fundamental question of "Who is being planned
for?". Clara H. Greed has also written "Introducing Town Planning"
and "Surveying Sisters".
