  • Making Space for Sex Work: Female Street Prostitution and the Production of Urban Space
    Volume 27.1 March 2003 75±89 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research Making Space for Sex Work: Female Street Prostitution and the Production of Urban Space PHIL HUBBARD and TEELA SANDERS Introduction It has been widely asserted that the female prostitute constitutes a central figure in the social imagination, playing an important symbolic role in the definition of moral standards. For example, many commentators have noted that the street prostitute has been stereotypically depicted as a motif of degeneracy, contagion and sexual lasciviousness, and hence a threat to male bourgeois values (Walkowitz, 1992; O’Neill, 2001). Similarly, the idea that the criminalization of street prostitution has been a means of establishing wider notions of what is socially and morally acceptable has also been widely documented (Duncan, 1996). Yet there have been few studies that have related these general ideas to specific spaces, detailing how female prostitution is implicated in the making of urban orders. Exceptions note that prostitution tends to be concentrated in particular areas, but say little of the processes by which these spaces are produced. For example, while Symanski (1981) provided an extensive mapping of the varied ‘immoral landscapes’ existing in different historical and geographical contexts, his work made little mention of the appropriation, occupation and use of these landscapes, particularly the way they are shaped by female sex workers. Equally, Ashworth et al. (1988) sought to extend Symanski’s analysis, theorizing the location of vice in the city as the outcome of consumer choice within socio-legal constraints, but ignored the way that sex workers create red-light districts through their distinctive spatial practices (which change according to legislative climate, levels of mutual support, client demand and so on — see Brewis and Linstead, 2000).

An assessment of the housing potential of each site was made by assessing its developable area. This was limited by factors like topography, irregular shaped plots and site specific constraints. Where sites have already been subject to a detailed appraisal e.g. through a planning application or development brief, this capacity figure has been used. This approach has allowed the Site Allocations & Delivery DPD to consider a broad range of sites across the Borough and ensure that the figures contained within the Core Strategy can comfortably be met. It is important to stress that the housing capacity figures are merely a broad indication of a site’s capacity.
