Uses of Time

In order to discover women’s needs and promote their experiences with urban planning that affect their perception of safety especially, and with a view to improving design and promoting urban planning with a gender perspective, various urban walks with women will be organised in order to identify factors that affect their perception of safety. 

This methodology is part of urban planning with a gender perspective, and it analyses uses of space during the day and at night, among other factors, including the time factor, in order to propose improvements to the urban space.

To date, 22 walks have been organised, with the participation of women from the city of Barcelona. A feminist methodology handbook has also been produced on how to organise exploratory walks, entitled ‘Urban planning and gender: exploratory walks through everyday life’.


Time impacts:

• Reduction in travel time and improvement in urban organisation.
