A colleague at St. Louis University and I have been working on a series of short audio documentaries about sex+ issues. None deal with planning, but all directly reflect on the role of space (esp. urban space). Perhaps some will be of interest to you, Jenny (and others interested in relationships between urban space, sex, and identity). We're finishing final edits on a new piece about public forms of sex education that we should add to our soundcloud site soon.

Subject: Planning the SEXY CITY - literature
Dear all,
being back at a planning department after some time, I was wondering if you can recommend any literature on planning the sexy city – that is on how to promote eroticism, lust, sex in the city? Ideally, I’m looking for examples that go beyond mere place marketing for homo- or heterosexual tourists or art projects, but I’d also be interested in those.
Best,
jenny
P.S.: Having studied gender and space as well as sexuality and space for quite some time, I’m fully aware of both legal constraints (e.g. when challenging the public/private binary that constrains certain forms of sexuality to certain places or when making space for (partially) criminalized sexualities such as sex work etc.) and the multiple contradictions that such a project might easily entail (e.g. involuntarily planning the sexist city; buying into neoliberal discourses of tolerance and sexiness as image factor, promoting sexual violence, fostering heteronormativity or homonormativity, pinkwashing etc.).
