Gender and Urbanization

Gender and urbanization explore how cities influence and are shaped by gender roles and identities. Urban areas often provide opportunities for greater gender equality through education and employment, but can also reveal disparities, such as gender-based violence or unequal access to resources. Urbanization impacts how genders experience space, social interactions, and rights, shaping individual and collective identities. Overall, understanding this dynamic helps address social inequalities and promotes inclusive, equitable urban development.
