LORENZO, Carmen Bermejo    GARCIA, Ana María Fernández. The gender perspective in regional legislation on territorial planning and urbanism in Spain. Notes on its rhythms and differences. []. , au22, pp.2-15.   26--2022. ISSN 2182-3030.  https://doi.org/10.15847/cct.27291.

This work studies the gender perspective of the regulations of the different Spanish autonomous communities applied to territorial planning and urbanism. It offers a picture of the current situation in the application of the Spanish Parity Law (2007) and of the versions of each region, and the drafting process of the different legislative corpus that affect a conception of territorial planning where the needs of women as users are taken into account. To that end, each normative reality has been interwoven with the political bias of the autonomous governments, with the presence of women in decision-making positions and with the activity of women’s institutes and research groups. The objective has been to determine if the different regulatory speeds arise from the application of the parity law and the growing presence of women in management bodies, or are to do with other variables such as the governing party that promotes them, the social pressure of feminism, research groups or of professional associations of architects.
