通过对西方城市社会中公共和私人之间区别的女权主义争论的了解，本文考察了近几十年来创建或改造的一些城市景观，以期评估解放性别概念的程度。从爱丁堡市得出的证据表明，公共空间和私人空间之间的划分如何在不同的尺度上运作，并在不同的社区采取不同的形式。这些形式说明了性别和阶级如何交织在公共和私人空间的界限和内涵中。在其中一个社区，公共和私人空间的传统性别内涵被打破，这一过程与特权中产阶级的生活方式密切相关。
Informed by feminist debates about the distinction between public and private in western urban societies, this article examines some urban landscapes created or transformed in recent decades with a view to assessing the extent to which emancipatory conceptions of gender are apparent. Evidence drawn from the city of Edinburgh shows how divisions between public space and private space operate at different scales and take different forms in different neighborhoods. These forms illustrate how gender and class are interwoven in demarcations between and connotations of public and private spaces. In one of the neighborhoods examined, some breaking down of traditional gender connotations of public and private spaces is detected, a process that is closely associated with privileged middle-class lifestyles.
