Abstract
The article aims at developing a typology of anxiety-provoking places as they are perceived by female citizens when they walk through an urban environment. Based on a qualitative study of interviews with ten women living in Brussels, it explores the ways in which spatial and situational characteristics can provoke anxiety through the combination of sensorial impressions and particular spatial configurations that set the framework for potentially threatening encounters. Hence, the perception of places and its interpretation question how space reproduces asymmetric gender relations through urban atmospheres, forms and presences.
