- Description
- The first part of the book describes the challenges that women face regarding access to essential services, housing security, liveability and mobility in cities. The second part of the book critically examines programs, projects and ideas that are working to make cities safer. It takes a cross-cultural learning perspective from action research occurring throughout the world and translates this research into theoretical conceptualizations to inform the literature on planning and urban management in both developing and developed countries. The final part of the book looks at the issues of gender mainstreaming and intersection.
