“…States wary of a revival of the social conflict of the 1930s, conservative groups dismayed by the relative freedom women had gained from marriage via employment in the 1920s and especially 1940s, and returning soldiers all created social pressure to instantiate an idealized version of the male breadwinner societies they perceived pre-dated the war. Owneroccupation and in particular owner-occupied single-family homes, or terraced housing, fit this model (Hayden, 2002). The expectation that 'normal' households would enter homeownership, and climb the housing ladder as their incomes grew, not only made it easier to transition through the three life-cycle milestones but also hastened those transitions.…”

“…For example, the suburbanization of American cities by restructuring urban space "fixed" underconsumption following the two World Wars by increasing consumption on a massive scale through higher demand for construction and public works (houses, roads, and infrastructure), for automobiles, and for domestic appliances for housewives, whose social reproduction work was fragmented into their single, detached houses (Hayden, 2002(Hayden, [1984). This spatial fix that renewed cycles of consumption relied heavily on gendered ideologies and a massive gendered campaign around "good families" and "executive housewives" to heighten domestic consumption and normalize the costs borne by women.…”

Feminist social reproduction scholarship has shown how reproductive labor is critical in understanding the evolving dynamics of global capitalism. However, more work is needed to explicate the spatial dimension of this relationship to understand the various modalities through which social reproduction is enrolled in capitalist city-making processes and how these modalities are contested. Drawing on observations from multiple sites ranging from cities in the US to Mexico, we offer three examples to highlight strategies capitalist urban development uses to make care work invisible and marginal: bantustanization, gentrification, and informalization. In light of these spatial strategies that co-opt social reproduction in capitalist accumulation projects, we aspire to rethink the work of care in urban development and the possibilities to decouple it from the drive for profits through cross-sectoral coalition building and solidarity.

“…According to the customs and traditions of the time, women did not have much freedom of movement. [4][5][6] [7] However, according to Wilson, in the 19th century, women in metropolitan areas attained a life far from being limited to the home. Towards the end of the century, spaces began to appear, offering women new spaces and thus justifying their presence on the streets; numerous dining halls and shops ensured the integration of women with the city.…”

This paper mainly examines the historical development of collective houses around the end of the 18th century and early 19th century. As indicated by Dune Vestbro and Dolores Hayden, the necessity for collective dwellings was revealed with the beginning of women to work. Thus, 'the central kitchen' idea created the main spatial revolution in domestic architecture during the industrial revolution time. Over years, common areas have been developed as; dining halls, living halls, children's playgrounds, markets…etc. and these areas act as service spaces for the small houses, indicating the expanding feature of houses from inside to outside, from spaces of existenzminimum to common spaces. As highlighted by Ezio Manzini; 'Existance-Minimum as a design quality must be minimum in m2 but maximum in comfort' indicates the highquality common areas of today's mass houses. Today, in metropolitan houses especially, expanding architecture; the expanding of spaces, socially and physically, from inside to outside, constitutes the main idea of housing projects.
