-The '''gender perspective''' is not only about women in society. It is about the ways women and men interact and their ability to access resources and opportunities, in their communities depending on their being a woman or a man. Therefore, when any type of survey or analysis of a society is undertaken, it is important to have data that reflects the situation of women in comparison to the situation of men and vice versa.<ref>UN-HABITAT: Inclusive and Sustainable Urban Planning: A Guide for Municipalities.

 ==Gender perspective in the urban planning process==
 There are various inequalities in society based on class, wealth, race, gender, disability, age, or other cultural factors. These factors make equal participation of all members of society in planning processes more difficult. It is necessary to ensure that all these voices are heard and considered. In addition to this approach, it is important to clarify what a [[gender perspective]] actually means when undertaking urban planning.
-Women and men have different perceptions of security and further more different urban protection needs. Thus, „''gender is not only about women in society.
