This international research network aims to engender current smart city agendas through young women’s everyday experiences of navigating and living in the city. It will present digital stories of mobility and safety curated by young women living in urban peripheries – resettlement colonies, urban villages and border towns. It will move beyond existing gendered data on violence against women to highlight gendered and socio-economic patterns of inclusions and exclusions brought about by a digital urban age.
