Gendered Landscape

Gendered landscape refers to the ways in which spaces and places are shaped by and reinforce gender norms and identities. In gender geography, it examines how different environments—such as urban areas, parks, workplaces, and homes—reflect societal expectations about masculinity and femininity. For instance, some public spaces may be perceived as safe for women while others may feel unwelcoming. By studying these dynamics, researchers reveal how geography influences gender experiences, often highlighting issues like accessibility, safety, and representation, and how these, in turn, impact individuals' lives and opportunities in different settings.
