Gender and Place
Rethinking Feminist Interventions into the Urban
Although the title obscures it, this book uses a feminist lens to view cities in the global north and global south. Its purpose is to challenge the current separation of urban studies into those th
Gender and Urban Space
Applying a gender perspective to cities reveals how spatial structure and social structure are mutually constitutive. This article reviews the ways cities have reflected and reinforced gender relations in the United States from the turn of the twentieth century to the present. First, I discuss ways in which women in industrial cities challenged the ideology of separate spheres. Next, I suggest that the post-World War II city was shaped by an era …
Women's Rights and Gendered Spaces in 1970s Boston
The status of women and the nature of cities have changed dramatically since World War II. In fact, the two phenomena are related. By pursuing greater rights, the contemporary women’s movement created opportunities for women to claim urban space for daily use. The struggle for reproductive control took shape in women’s health clinics. Establishing the right to personal safety in the home produced shelters for victims of domestic violence. And the…

What Happened to Gender Relations on the Way from Chicago to Los Angeles
From the Chicago human ecologists to the Los Angeles postmodernists, urban theorists have tried to understand how space is structured by technological, political, economic, and cultural forces; gender is seldom examined. Yet both women’s status and urban form underwent significant changes following World War II. As the home became less predictably the center of women’s lives, the monocentric city was evolving into the polycentric metropolis. This…
How Women Saved the City
Redemptive Places, Charitable Choice, and Welfare Reform
The faces of the two girls featured in Danuta Rothschild's image Women's Shelter express both despair and hope. Part of a series of works on urban homelessness, the painting depicts them seated on the steps of a shelter for battered women. Such “redemptive places” and the hope they offer to desperate lives are the subject of Daphne Spain's Longer View. Spain recounts the inception of these places in the U.S. early in the last century and describe…

Governing Out of Order: Space, Law and the Politics of Belonging
Davina Cooper explores governing practices and agendas at the end of the twentieth century, focusing on institutional excess and political transgression, inevitable aspects of modern liberal rule. She examines the identity of the nation-state and its relationship to the wider community to consider the boundaries of the way we are governed.How far should state institutions be able to assert and implement their moral, ethical, and religious visions…

Balancing act: Motherhood, marriage, and employment among American women
Balancing Act draws upon multiple census and survey sources to detail the shifting conditions under which women balance their roles as mothers, wives, and breadwinners. The authors show how women have made great strides in education, where female college enrollment now exceeds that of males, and in the workplace, where women now enter a wider variety of occupations and stay on the job longer than previous generations, even after becoming wives an…
Direct and Default Policies in the Transformation of Public Housing
In the course of 60 years, public housing has been transformed from the mixed gender institution envisioned by its proponents to housing occupied primarily by unmarried women. This paper proposes that the transition is due to more than the feminization of the poverty population. It also can be attributed to a combination of direct and default government policies. Among direct policies affecting the composition of public housing are site selection…
Reply to James J. Chriss
Professor Chriss makes two points in his response to my ideas about the relationship between gendered spaces and gender stratification. The first is that primacy should be assigned to stratification as the cause of spatial segregation; the second is that degendering spaces will not be effective in reducing gender stratification until women are capable of engaging in the same sexual harassment tactics as men. Although I still resist the necessity …

Been-Heres Versus Come-Heres Negotiating Conflicting Community Identities
This article explores the similar types of conflicts that arise in gentrifying neighborhoods and rural counties in the wake of rapid inmigration. As newcomers move into established communities — whether in downtowns or in the remote countryside — they generate a critical mass of people with greater access to resources than long-term residents. Privatization often accompanies this redistribution of resources, and the resulting conflict over resour…

Gendered Spaces and Women's Status
In homes, schools, and workplaces, women and men are often separated in ways that sustain gender stratification by reducing women's access to socially valued knowledge. The fact that these spatial arrangements may be imperceptible increases their power to reproduce prevailing status differences. The A. uses cross-cultural and historical examples to illustrate that the more pronounced the degree of spatial gender segregation, the lower is women's …
Development and Social Problems: The Impact of the Offshore Oil Industry on Suicide and Homicide Rates1
There are few studies in the literature concerning economic development that examine the impact of offshore oil and gas extraction on communities and even fewer that use annual data, examine more than one community and account for the degree of involvement of the community in the oil industry. This study rectifies these problems. The results support hypotheses derived from social disorganization and relative deprivation theories by demonstrating …

Racial Inequalities in Housing: An Examination of Recent Trends
Changes in racial differences in homeownership and objective indicators of housing quality are examined using 1960 Census data and 1977 Annual Housing Survey data. Blacks, net of differences in socioeconomic status, family composition, and regional-metropolitan location, remained less likely than whites to own homes and somewhat more likely to live in older, crowded and structurally inadequate units in 1977. In general, however, net effects for r…

Race Relations and Residential Segregation in New Orleans: Two Centuries of Paradox
Because of its origins as one of the oldest slave trading centers in the country, New Orleans has a unique history in both race relations and residential segregation. Slavery required blacks to live in close proximity to their white owners. This created a mixed residential pattern that was characteristic of other southern cities in the nineteenth century. The rigid caste/race system defined social distance when physical distance was lacking. In t…

Neighborhood revitalization and racial change: The case of Washington, D.C
Using 1970 and 1980 census block data for Washington, D.C., we test several hypotheses about the racial residential consequences of neighborhood revitalization. Areas located in the revitalizing core of the city have a) become whiter in both absolute and proportional terms, consistent with the displacement hypothesis, and b) experienced substantial though difficult to interpret shifts in segregation. The types of racial changes occurring in the c…
Residential Segregation in Southern Cities: 1970
The authors construct a regional model of residential segregation in the South, using demographic and socioeconomic variables. Based on an analysis of the age, size, percent black, and occupational and income differentials in 32 southern cities, the findings show that: (1) age is still the strongest predictor of residential segregation; (2) socioeconomic factors need to be examined in their traditional southern context as indicators of residentia…
A Gentrification Research Agenda for the 1990S
This paper identifies a range of gentrification research topics meriting further attention in the 1990s. These topics are situated in the theoretical contexts stressing the primacy of production of gentrifiable spaces and consumption of housing by renovators. The complementarity of consensus and conflict in community formation is also noted. Five hypotheses that could be tested with 1990 census data are proposed. They deal with: the role of young…

Why Higher Income Households Move to Central Cities
To the extent that urban revitalization depends on the attraction and retention of affluent households, it is important for planners to know why higher income movers choose central city destinations. Data from the 1983 national Annual Housing Survey are used to examine the destination choices of recent movers and their reported reasons for moving to central cities and suburbs. Contrary to expectations, no statistically significant differences exi…

An Examination of Residential Preferences in the Suburban Era
It has been suggested that suburban “minicities” now provide the services necessary for working wives and mothers to balance the multiple demands on their time, leading women to prefer suburban over central city neighborhoods. Data from the 1983 national Annual Housing Survey verify that women prefer suburban neighborhoods, but fail to support the contention that suburbs offer the same services as central cities. Public transit, shopping, and sch…

Black-To-White Successions in Central-City Housing: Limited Evidence of Urban Revitalization
The extent to which whites are replacing blacks in central-city housing-one measure of what is popularly known as the "back to the city" movement-has so far been undocu mented on a national scale. Data from matched years of the Annual Housing Survey can address this issue for the mid-1970s. Approximately twice as many central-city residential successions involved transitions from black to white occupancy in 1973-1976 as in 1967- 1971. The income …

This study undertaken for the National Committee for Research on the 1980 Census is the first in a planned series of volumes presenting analyses of the data from the 1980 U.S. census. The authors combine 1980 census data with data from previous censuses and national surveys to describe the changes affecting American women over the past 30 years particularly their move from the home to the labor force and from traditional family life to the realms…
The Effect of Changing Household Composition on Neighborhood Satisfaction
The 1983 Annual Housing Survey is used to test the following hypotheses: (1) female householders will be less satisfied with their neighborhoods than other householders, (2) they will live in neighborhoods with more services, and (3) neighborhood conditions and services will affect satisfaction independent of household characteristics. Sex of the householder drops out as a significant predictor of neighborhood satisfaction when other household an…

The Effect of Residential Mobility and Household Composition on Housing Quality
Annual Housing Survey data are used to examine whether recent movers improve their housing quality through a local move and whether the process differs by household composition. Residential mobility tends to improve housing quality, while differences by sex of household are mediated through higher rates of involuntary mobility, lower incomes, and a higher likelihood of being black among female householders. Implications for future housing policy …
