Overview

Places Women Make tells stories of women shaping the Australian city - its buildings, spaces, and social and political agendas. Jane Jose takes a fresh look at city life, great places and the unsung urban heroines who made them. She explores the design of cities, the places we need and suggests urban life would be richer if women play more of a role in city design. Places Women Make honours women place-makers from history, while speaking to a new generation of designers about the possibilities to come.
