| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this paper is to learn about key factors which determine gender gaps in individual time-use preferences and its link to one’s neighbourhood. Results will highlight significant aspects that address the question how urban planning can influence time-use patterns and can contribute to changes on the reconciliation of work and family life and enabling gender balance therein. Introduction Present contributions to the social-scientific literature on time provide a range of clues about potential connections between city development and the evolution of (Western) time cultures. Beginning in the 1970s first approaches appeared to integrate time aspects in regional and geographical studies. The demand for equal opportunities for men and women and for a better work-life balance marks the beginning of time policy in the 1980s, a young interdisciplinary field aiming to integrate time aspects in urban development planning (f. e. Bonfiglioli 2005; Boccia 2013). When we talk about gender, we refer to prevailing gender roles of men and women and their impact in the unequal sharing of family responsibilities, the gendered division of the labour market, or socially and culturally formed behavioural patterns. Whereas categories of sex are defined along essential biological differences, gender is about roles that can change over the time. Gender differences are dynamic, constantly in flux (Fainstein and Servon 2005, 3) and are intersecting with age, race, class, etc.. | |
