Sumario:Pioneering Dutch women architects have made valuable contributions in defining a public agenda that improved the quality of urban planning and housing by integrating women's perspectives, such as the Pendrecht development (1949-53) in Rotterdam. Pendrecht combined the actions of architects Lotte Stam-Besse as head of the city's Department of Urban Development and Reconstruction and Wilhelmina Jansen and Ada Kuiper-Struyk as part of Rotterdam's VAC (Vrouwen Advies Commissie), a pioneering voluntary women's organisation that advised the municipality on housing and the environment and introduced novel participatory methodologies - workshops, surveys, excursions. This joint experience between Stam-Besse, Jansen and Kuiper-Struyk is practically unknown and therefore undervalued, and these notes are not only a thematic contribution but also an invitation to shed light on a legacy that is fully valid in current discussions on public policies, housing rights and gender perspective.
