Abstract

Chapter 9 returns to the question of how recognising gender relevance impacts on the organisation and structure of land-use planning and appropriation in different European cultures. The book’s findings are summarised with regard to knowledge transfer, integration and implementation. Similarities and differences of gender approaches in the different countries are described using opposing couples: formal - informal, top-down - bottom-up, implicit - explicit. In some countries gender concerns are dealing with gender concerns implicitly within quality-driven planning for everyday needs. This is insufficient if gender sensibility should be a principle of spatial development and planning. Formal, top-down and explicit approaches are necessary to change power relations, as are informal and bottom-up activities that may help (re-)introduce needs overlooked in official proceedings. Sustainability Development Goals or Gender Mainstreaming guidelines may fail to penetrate lower levels without more binding commitments in politics, law and planning. This requires consideration of the different cultural contexts. Gender concerns should be on research agendas and political programmes and part of formation and education, especially in disciplines relevant for spatial development like planning, architecture and urbanism. The authors are cautiously optimistic that the fourth generation of feminism will bring about more gender awareness and help to equip professionals with the appropriate skills and tools for gendered spatial development and planning.
