Abstract

Space-making being a social process and land-use a reflection of social order, it is useful to examine women's place in the urban environment in relation to their place in society. This paper outlines research directions about urban space conceived of as a support and an expression of the links between women and their community. For this purpose, it will attempt a diagnosis of the appropriation of space by women, an evaluation of the concept of "appropriation of space" in the light of different stances on women's liberation and an examination of women's role in modelling urban space.
