Contentious Cities offers unique interdisciplinary approaches to
understanding gendered spatial equity in the urban environment.
Positioning design as a central component in how cities produce,
construct, represent and materialise gendered spatial practices, it
brings together practice and theory to critique, question and
enable solutions that challenge the root causes of gender
inequalities in cities. Through a rich array of case-studies,
practice-led interventions, and historical and theoretical
perspectives, it examines important issues that affect the ways in
which women, and people of diverse gender and sexual identities
experience and participate in cities. Thematically organised, it
considers problems of street-harassment, heterosexualisation and
equity in access and mobility, together with modes of segregation,
isolation and discrimination, as well as processes of resistance,
intervention and agency. Grounded in feminist and queer methods of
analysis, the book offers new insights regarding the representation
of cities, the lived experience of cities, and how design-tactics
and approaches might affect the ways cities shape and regulate how
women and people of diverse gender and sexual identity inhabit,
occupy and move through the city. An examination of the ways in
which design might shift toward safer and more inclusive cities,
Contentious Cities will appeal to scholars of sociology, gender
studies and urban studies, as well as those working in the fields
of urban planning and design.
