This volume, Gender in an Urban World, brings the analysis of
gender from the margin to the center of urban theory. Gender in an
Urban World examines the influence of gender in shaping relations
in urban spaces and places. It represents a "crack" in the
landscape of urban sociology, and engages in the discourse of the
field from a gendered perspective.
This volume is global in focus and includes empirical and field
studies as it relates to structure, politics, policy and everyday
life within an urban context. The authors investigate the ways in
which the urban world is gendered, and the roles of womens and mens
agency in creating and changing urban life. Reconceptualizations of
various models, focusing on local, metropolitan, and international
environments are also included.
Gender in an Urban World contributes innovative theoretical
paradigms to the urban field. It is meant to contribute to an
ongoing dialogue with regard to gender within the context of
urbanism and urbanization.
