It’s Sounds familiar? One way or another we’ve all experienced something like this, especially in big cities. The thing is that safety and comfort are tightly associated. They define a city’s quality of life and attractiveness. However, what we can do as planners and designers to improve the safety and feeling of comfort of our cities is not entirely clear. The perception of safety changes with gender, age, profession, religion, class, time of day and many other factors that relate to the individual and the context it finds itself in.Urban Planner and Architect Vasia Bakomichali, wanted to explore this lack of clarity and take a deeper look at the way women experience public spaces in an effort to create new insights on the way we plan and design safe cities for all.
