Women in the Neighbourhood

Through expert insights and collaborative discussions with the communities, we aim to investigate how issues of mobility and housing affect the everyday lives of women and to explore solutions to foster safer, more inclusive cities for everyone through the year-long work of the students in the StreetSpace studio.

The workshop is more than just a conversation; it’s a call to action for planners, city dwellers, and anyone interested in understanding and improving the urban experience for women.
