This article combines together three distinct development concerns ??/ gender main- streaming, urban violence, and gender-based violence ??/ and seeks to identify whether their triangulation can provide a useful analytical framework and associated operational tool for increasing women’s safety in cities. In cities throughout the world, the importance of women’s safety and security is now widely recognised, both within the household as well as outside in public spaces. An extensive range of state and civil society institutions are currently implementing a range of cutting-edge ‘good practice’ policies, programmes, and projects to rigorously address this issue.
