TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Taking Stock of Planning, Space, and Gender JO - Journal of planning literature A1 - Milroy, B. M. SP - 3 EP - 15 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - Planners turning to the literature on women and space find it deeply engaged in working out the tension between two major activities, producing goods and cultivating people. However, many find it hard to seize the implications of this research for planning theories. This article tries to make that link. It reviews research that is concerned with gender under the themes of work, families, and association and compares these findings to the assumptions underlying spatial development theories. Feminist research is shown to present radical challenges to theories of planning and spatial development.
