Women, men, girls and boys are differentially affected by the conditions of
urbanization. For instance, women are ???invariably disadvantaged compared to men
in cities in terms of equal access to employment and shelter, health and education,
transport, asset ownership, experiences of urban violence and ability to exercise their
rights. These disadvantages are especially marked for poor urban women???1 These
gendered dimensions of cities require continual examination if inequalities are to be
understood and addressed for equitable and sustainable development. The Research
unit can potentially help enhance understanding of this human-urban environment
interface from gender perspectives.
