Gender and human rights: implications for planning and development / Tovi Fenster -- Women, planning and local central relations in the UK / Jo Little -- Culture, human rights, and planning (as control) for minority women in Israel / Tovi Fenster -- Intersecting claims: possibilities for planning in Canada's multicultural cities / Marcia Wallace and Beth Moore Milroy -- The gender inequalities of planning in Singapore / Gillian Davidson -- Households, violence and women's economic rights: a case study of women and work in the Appalachia / Ann M. Oberhauser -- Gender, informal employment and the right to productive resources: the human rights implications of micro-enterprise development in Peru / Maureen Hays-Mitchell -- Gender, migrants and rights in the European Union / Eleonore Kofman -- Does cultural survival have a gender? Indigenous women and human rights in Australia / Deborah Bird Rose -- Women and human rights in post-communist countries: the situation in the Czech Republic / Jiřina Šiklová -- Gender, planning and human rights: practical lessons / Rovi Fenster.
"Gender, Planning and Human Rights explores the geographies and spatialities of human rights with particular emphasis on the connections between gender and human rights in planning and development. Challenging the traditional treatment of human rights cast in purely legal frameworks, the authors argue that, in order to promote the notion of human rights, its geographies and spatialities must be investigated and be made explicit. The book contains a wealth of case studies which examine the significance of these components in various countries with multicultured societies and identify ways to integrate human rights issues in planning, development and policy-making."--Jacket
