“…Two of the most famous analysts of urban and environmental issues are women, Jacobs (1970Jacobs ( , 2000 and Carson (2002), respectively. Even though gender was not central in their analyses, the response to their research was gendered (Kinkela, 2009).

As Kinkela [4] (p. 905) noted, both books "invoked a common language to criticise physical geographies or landscapes that have often been considered incongruous", forging the underpinning of the concept of ecological landscape. The ecosystemic approach for understanding urban functioning proposed by Jacobs anticipated many now widely recognised principles of sustainable city, such as compactness, walkability, connectivity, accessibility, and diversity [8][9][10][11].…”
