Dolores Hayden, Ellen Dunham-Jones, and Elizabeth Plater Zyberk: Gender Equity in American Neighborhoods

Date:

Wednesday, November 8, 2023

Time:

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Pioneers and forerunners of gender-inclusive planning and design, Dolores Hayden, Ellen Dunham-Jones, and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk discuss mainstreaming gender equity in American neighborhoods.

"Spaces of Care, Then and Now" Dolores Hayden, author of The Grand Domestic Revolution and Building Suburbia, presents her groundbreaking research on 19th and early 20th century feminist proposals for public infrastructure, in opposition to mid-20th century suburban planning based on Victorian gender stereotypes that separate public and private realms.

"Neighborhood Stories" Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, a founder of New Urbanism and a founding partner of the firm DPZ coDesign, shares successful projects connecting private and public spaces in support of women and children.

"What Would a Non-Sexist Suburb Be Like?" Ellen Dunham-Jones, leading urbanist and author on sustainable suburban development, explores retrofitting older suburbs to meet the needs of contemporary working parents and daily life. She presents examples of successful projects in the U.S. and Europe.

This program is presented as part of the National Building Museum’s INTERSECTIONS series, investigating the relationship between diversity, identity, culture, and the built environment.
