Within one generation the lives and living conditions of people in Southern Africa have undergone rapid transformation through urbanisation. Gender Research on Urbanisation, Planning, Housing and Everyday Life (GRUPHEL) is a research programme to understand and analyse the role played by gender in relation to processes of urbanisation, planning, housing and everyday life. There is a large body of gender research in Africa but contributions that relate to the GRUPHEL theme are still few. The papers which are contained in this volume use the gender concept to emphasise the social construction of difference as opposed to the biological difference.
