| Abstract: | This thesis investigates feminist approaches to urban planning, and especially aspects related to safety in public places, by conducting a case study on Col·lectiu Punt 6. The collective of female architects, planners, and sociologists, based in Barcelona, makes use of feminist participatory methods to get citizens, but especially women and marginalized groups, involved in the decision-making process. By doing so, the male bias that is still prevalent in the fields of architecture and planning should be counterbalanced. Hence, the research question is: How does Col·lectiu Punt 6 counteract the gender imbalance in urban planning, especially regarding its effects for safety in public spaces? A case study was conducted to investigate how the collective develops and applies feminist participatory methods, with a focus on the aspect of safety in public places. In the last step, the existing methodology was categorized to illustrate which parts are adaptable to different contexts, and what are possible limitations. The research is based on textual data, consisting of publications of the collective itself and an interview conducted with one of the founding members. |
