Rapid urbanisation and migration have resulted in the development of a stratified urban human settlement system. Five sample cities of Delhi, Chandigarh, Uttarkashi, Phagwara and small towns of Saharanpur have been examined to determine the emerging trends in women's mobility.

(A) The French title of this paper is: "Mobilité des femmes dans les villes indiennes".
