Beskrivning
Change of Plans raises questions that are not commonly posed, suggests new avenues for thought in city planning, and contributes to the growing literature on sustainability by merging it with a feminist approach. The book provides a concrete example of a team of academics, planners, and architects that has struggled to combine an environmental with a non-sexist perspective.

Recensioner i media

For most people, ‘feminism’ does not immediately evoke thoughts of curb cuts and zoning by-laws. Instead, we tend to think of freedom of reproductive choice, equal pay for work of equal value, and the fight against male violence as examples of ‘women’s issues.’ It seems that few of us, committed feminists included, recognize that our struggles for equality take place within a built environment that has been quite literally man made. As a result, the built environment is often seen as a benign backdrop to the human drama rather than a force which shapes our lives in profound ways.
