Abstract
Infrastructure is vital for urbanisation and development. While infrastructural projects have been carried out many levels, seldom does anyone question the politics of gender embedded in the formulation and implementation of projects. Most infrastructural projects only take masculine perspectives under consideration; seldom is there a focus on female aspirations and mobility needs. This paper examines and highlights the importance of gendered analysis in all steps of infrastructural project making. It examines the role of the World Bank in promoting the role of women in infrastructural development and discusses its shortcomings. The paper concludes by providing certain suggestions intended to increase the role of women in the debate surrounding infrastructural development.
