Rooted in feminist political thought, She City illuminates how gender shapes our urban spaces and city design. Through three sections: 'Resisting Sexist Cities', 'Designing Feminist Cities', and 'Prioritizing Safer Cities', Kalms examines barriers to women's public participation and focuses on the practical strategies, policies and actions to overcome them.

Addressing significant themes such as violence against women and gender-sensitive design, She City not only provides direction for practitioners but also inspires confidence to pursue new paths towards women-centered urban environments. This book is an essential resource for architects, urban designers, planners and the plethora of built environment specialists committed to building cities that truly meet the diverse needs of women and girls.

Recenzijos

She City is clear, forthright and essential reading. It delves deeply into the many ways in which cities are sexist but also offers up routesfrom data to co- designtowards better spaces. * Susannah Walker, co-founder of Make Space for Girls * She City is a powerful study of how urban environments endanger and exclude women and girls. It is also an invaluable source of transformative ideas for creating safer, more equitable cities. This is essential reading for anyone interested in just futures and urban living. * Christoph Lindner, Professor of Urban Studies, University College London, UK * An effective demonstration that a gender-neutral approach to urban design is not enough to combat the sexism and harassment that women still experience in the city of man, rather improved gender mainstreaming along with feminist participatory co-design are vital. * Clara Greed, Emerita Professor of Inclusive Urban Planning, UWE, Bristol, UK *
