In order to counter the persistent urban sprawl, we find at the forefront of contemporary urban planning theory the concept of an edificial densification. It puts urban green spaces and in particular those of housing estates at risk since it depletes their spatial reserves. Green spaces, however, are of vital importance for a high quality of life and for a sustainable urban development. Today, no suitable landscape planning concepts exist to counter an edificial densification, which makes it necessary to discuss new design strategies. How can the conceptualisation, planning and everyday use of urban green spaces take existing gender differences into account in a way that enables people to step out of discriminating social structures?
