Description:
This Gender Issue guide looks at the different ways in which women, men, girls and boys are affected by the conditions of urbanization. For instance, in terms of equal access to employment and shelter, health and education, transport, asset ownership, experiences of urban violence and ability to exercise rights in cities. These gendered dimensions of cities require continual examination if inequalities are to be understood and addressed for equitable and sustainable development. This Research Guide aims to enhance understanding of this human-urban environment interface from a gender perspective.
