In the next "Risks and Territorial Dynamics" seminar Vandana Vasudevan will present her research on "Spatial Inequalities of Urban Women in Accessing the City".

The mobility and accessibility of urban women has been a topic of much debate in India in recent times. Women's freedom to access opportunities and places in the city is rather different from that of men's due to various socio-cultural and psychological reasons which have been well documented. However, far less research has been done on the effect of the built environment on mobility. Vandana's research hopes to plug the gap in this area to enable policy makers and urban planners to build more inclusive cities.
Vandana Vasudevan

Vandana Vasudevan is currently doing her Ph.D from the University of Grenoble, France. Her doctorate is in the domain of Urban Planning, specifically on "Spatial inequalities of urban women in accessing the city" dealing with how the built environment affects women's mobility and hence access to different places/opportunities in the city. She is an alumna of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. Prior to that she studied Economics at Delhi University's Lady ShriRam College. She has done a Masters in "Urbanisme, Territoires et Co-operation Internationale" from the Institute de Urbanisme, Grenoble. She has worked in the corporate sector for several years in leading banks and media companies. She wrote a fortnightly column for the business daily Mint for 3 years. She is the author of two books: (1) Urban Villager: Life in an Indian SatelliteTown (SAGE publications 2013) is a reflection on the socio-economic and territorial impact of India''s rapid urbanisation of rural areas, with a focus on Greater Noida, a suburb of Delhi; (2) Tough Customer (Westland publishers) on urban consumer issues was released in August 2014.
