Biography
Katherine Crewe's scholarship addresses the fields of planning and urban design, with an emphasis on gender and the needs of local communities; her long-term research involves innovative strategies in city-building which address these broader urban needs. She is currently working on a book, "Building Ideals: Practical Utopias from New Towns to New Urbanism" (with Ann Forsyth, of Cornell University). Crewe has published articles in leading journals in the planning and urban design fields. Her edited volumes include an issue of Progressive Planning, and proceedings from the "Genderbound" conference held at ASU in 2004.
