Women in the Neighbourhood

StreetSpace would like to invite you to join us in the 'Women in the Neighbourhood' workshop, to be held in the Accidental Theater on Thursday 13 June 2024.

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 event 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.

Please reserve a spot as places are limited!
