Women in, out, and Against the Smart Cities: A South-to-South Dialogue From India to Africa
Abstract
Smart city initiatives are growing in the Global South, and it is critical to understand women’s role within, on the margins, and against the unfolding trends. This paper is informed by over 35 interviews in India, with the hope of having a South-to-South dialogue with parallel realities in Africa.
