Abstract
ABSTRACT There is almost 50 years of history of women and built environment research, yet in practice women face extensive problems exposing them to vulnerabilities and nuisance. The question this systematic review attempts to answer through grounded theory analysis is how are women’s geographies of spatial encounters defined in order to establish a framework. Scopus database was searched for peer-reviewed studies published in Elsevier, Wiley, Blackwell, Taylor and Francis, Springer, Routledge, and Sage between 2010 and 2022, and CASP tool for qualitative studies was utilized for risk of bias assessment. There is an iterative pattern of drivers and responses evident in the reciprocal interaction of women and built environment. Drivers push to provoke change and responses are appropriated to re-establish balance. This constantly defines and redefines the discourse, shifting it towards inclusion and quality of life for women, consequently building a more equitable, democratic, and sustainable society.
