Short description

This project examines the complex gendered dynamics, spatial experiences, and everyday encounters of migrant women in the public spaces of Thessaloniki, Greece. It focuses on how intersecting identities—such as gender, migration status, and class—shape these women's interactions with urban public space. Using a combination of qualitative methods including walking/go-along interviews, the Story Completion method, and participatory workshops, the research seeks to illuminate the challenges migrant women face in public spaces. By providing critical insights into their experiences, the project aims to inform urban planning interventions that promote more inclusive urban public spaces.
