商品簡介
the wave of real estate development that was overtaking and reshaping
the landscape of cities. Newspaper reports and depictions of urban
women in popular culture suggested that condominium living in
particular was offering women new-found freedom, financial
independence, and personal security. But is home ownership a path to
liberation for women, or were these reports merely celebratory rhetoric
that disguised more disquieting trends?
To get at the reality behind the rhetoric, Sex and the
Revitalized City approaches the phenomenon from the perspective of
planners, developers, and condo owners in Toronto. Explorations of
three themes -- tenure, community, and lifestyle -- within
the context of a critical analysis of the neoliberal agenda reveal that
the relationship between women and the city is being remade in the
image of fast capital and consumer citizenship. Filtered through
condominium ownership, neoliberal ideologies are not freeing women from
constraints -- they are reinforcing patriarchal norms.
This fresh look at gentrification and urban revitalization exposes
the notion of women's emancipation through condominium ownership
as a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in gender relations.
