| Title |
A Neighborhood that Empowers Women : In Search of Housing Sustainability
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the relationship between women's empowennent and low-income housing sustaiability. She argues that housing projects and policies should be designed to enable women take control of their environment, which would not only profit women but
ensure economic and social sustainability of the neighborhood, benefiting all its other residents as well as the city. The author discusses how housing policies have failed to empower women and analyzes the manner in which a built environment can empower its
female residents and consequently be enriched by them, as exemplified by three decades of history of the "isolated" neighborhood called Mountain Sights, located on the outskirts of Côte-des-Neiges, in the northwest sector of Montreal.
