Abstract
The relationship of women with the cities they reside in is not determined simply by the physicality of the space they occupy and traverse but is established by the socio-cultural patterns of relationships and the beliefs that have created systems of inequity, exclusion and marginalisation. This article attempts to provide linkages between existing traditions and practices that direct/restrict the presence of women, girls and others in public spaces, the culture of violence that prevails across cities globally, the response of civic society and government agencies, the marginalization of citizens as participants in the making of their own cities, and the provision of urban infrastructure and spaces that enable gender safety and belonging. In this article, the term gender is not restricted only to women (or men) but to all other genders.
