She City is clear, forthright and essential reading. It delves deeply into the many ways in which cities are sexist but also offers up routes—from data to co- design—towards better spaces. * Susannah Walker, co-founder of Make Space for Girls * She City is a powerful study of how urban environments endanger and exclude women and girls. It is also an invaluable source of transformative ideas for creating safer, more equitable cities. This is essential reading for anyone interested in just futures and urban living. * Christoph Lindner, Professor of Urban Studies, University College London, UK * An effective demonstration that a gender-neutral approach to urban design is not enough to combat the sexism and harassment that women still experience in the city of man, rather improved gender mainstreaming along with feminist participatory co-design are vital. * Clara Greed, Emerita Professor of Inclusive Urban Planning, UWE, Bristol, UK *
