    Abstract
    Social values surrounding work become manifested in the urban environment in numerous ways. Planners contribute to this in their capacity as implementers of political decisions. Conventional ways of thinking about work are being challenged from many quarters because of new technology, economic re-structuring, environmental concerns, and women's labour force participation. This paper is an account of challenges to notions of work originating in feminist research These deal with definitions of work, equal access to work for women and men, and the ordering of values related to productive and non-productive activities. The implications of these claims for planning theories and practices are proposed.
     
    Les valeurs sociales liées au travail se manifestent dans l'environnement urbain de plusieurs facons. Les urbanistes contribuent à cela en ce qu'ils mettent en oeuvre des décisions politiques. Les facons conventionnelles de penser le travail sont remises en question à cause des nouvelles technologies, de la restructuration économique, des enjeux environnementaux et de l'augmentation de la main-d'oeuvre féminine. Cet article rend compte des défis posés aux concepts du travail tirés de recherches féministes. Ces concepts touchent à la définition du travail, à l'égalité des hommes et des femmes quant à l'accès au travail ainsi qu'à l'organisation des valeurs reliées aux activités productives et non productives. Enfin, l'auteur examine les incidences de ces revendications sur la théorie et la pratique de l'urbanisme.
