This issue favors a feminine viewpoint and therefore the contribution of women, long forgotten, to the theory and practice of the city...Due to the remarkable work of scholars, such as those whose books are reviewed in this issue, a city that might be called ‘androgynous’ (as it shows the characters of both sexes) emerges from past and present times."
