Edited by Linda Peake, Professor, Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change, York University, Canada, Anindita Datta, Professor, Department of Geography, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, India and Grace Adeniyi-Ogunyankin, Professor, Departments of Gender Studies and Geography and Planning, Queen's University, Canada

‘I strongly recommend this book to researchers in the field of feminist urban scholarship, particularly those at an early stage of their careers. It offers a helpful introduction to complex terms like positionality and reflexivity and outlines the contribution that very different research methods can bring to the co-production and dissemination of knowledge. For those later in their careers, this Handbook offers a reflection and introspection into their areas of interest, opening avenues for new, inspiring work when discussing “gender and cities”.’
