Significant opportunities exist to connect more directly sexuality research to urbanisation research in the global South. This article considers such connections in relation to the informal sector, the state, and urban health. It highlights how such connections can help surface the strategic and pragmatic choices made by same-sex communities in the face of persistent urban challenges in the global South. The article draws on examples from sub-Saharan Africa, a region that exhibits significant sexuality-based discrimination and which has had significant urban research attention.

Significant opportunities exist to examine new ways of approaching geographies of sexualities in the Global South. This article argues a key way to consider this is via a systematic evaluation of diverse impacts in the Global South of very different internationally-driven processes designed to address local LGBT needs. Focusing on sub-Saharan Africa and drawing on and reviewing a range of disciplinary perspectives, this article offers a conceptualization and series of future research questions regarding the relational and diverse impacts of different internationally-driven processes. These concerns support existing geographies of sexualities interests including the interfaces between sexuality, intersectionality and space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
