Offering a fresh perspective, this timely book analyzes the
socio-cultural and physical production of planned capital cities
through the theoretical lens of feminism. Dorina Pojani evaluates
the historical, spatial and symbolic manifestations of new capital
cities, as well as the everyday experiences of those living there,
to shed light on planning processes, outcomes and contemporary
planning issues. Chapters explore seven geographically, culturally
and temporally diverse capital cities across Australia, India,
Brazil, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Myanmar and South Korea. Pojani argues
that new capital cities have embodied patriarchal systems to govern
their respective polities which has magnified problems in these
cities. The book highlights how in new capitals, notions such as
the state, the nation, urbanism, religion, the economy and even
nature have been conceived of or treated in patriarchal terms, to
the detriment of women and other disadvantaged groups. This book
will be an invigorating read for urban studies and planning
scholars. The information about the processes of new city formation
will also be of great use to urban planners.
