Cities, Slums And Gender In The Global South: Towards A Feminised Urban Future (Regions And Cities) - 9780415721646

Developing regions are set to account for the vast majority of future urban growth, and women and girls will become the majority inhabitants of these locations in the Global South. This book revolves around conceptualisation of the 'gender-urban-slum interface' which explains key elements to understanding women's experiences in slum environments. It explores the variegated disadvantages of urban poverty and slum-dwelling from a gender perspective.
