ABSTRACT
This book has discussed the journeys of people, goods, and ideas. However, most people equate mobility with physically travelling from A to B. Nowadays, the majority of people’s journeys take place in crowded, busy, urban, and often fraught, physical surroundings. This is particularly true for women. Therefore, this chapter focuses upon the challenges of integrating a gender perspective into urban spatial transportation planning, in a world in which transport systems and their design, modes of transport available, and policy priorities continue to embody a male, rather than female, perspective.
