N2  - This article presents an analysis of the similarities and differences between feminist and new urbanist critical approaches to planning suburbs. Empirical results from a case study and survey of women residents of a Canadian new urbanist community are used to examine whether such communities can uphold feminist planning concerns and whether residents have views that are comparable to those presented in the two literatures. The results suggest that many of the assumptions in new urbanist literature are not being addressed in practice. Furthermore, and from a feminist planning perspective, the opportunities for new urbanist planning to uphold feminist planning principles may be limited
