Urbanisation, insecurity and violence: A systematic review
Systematic review and contextualisation report on implications of evidence for South Asia
Abstract
Urbanisation process transforms a societal environment and generates various forms of conflicts among the urban tenants that sometimes take the form of violence. Violence in urban areas in LMICs is becoming a growing concern now a day. There is lack of comprehensive assessment on the effectiveness violence reduction approaches in LMICs, particularly for urban areas. Approaches undertaken to address this issue varied widely in their approaches, context and outcomes.
This systematic review was commissioned by the South Asia Research Hub (SARH) of the UK Department for International Development (DFID) for generating a robust assessment of the available evidence for decision-makers; such as policymakers, donor partners and other practitioners of this region or other similar settings.
