Abstract

ABSTRACT Spatial conviviality for women is an emerging research area in the international scene that needs contextualization. This comparative study focuses on Place Ettoute in Blida, Algeria, and Plaza De Felipe II in Madrid, Spain. The paper identifies common features and differences that contribute to the conviviality of public spaces for women in each location. The two case studies are observed and analysed using an analysis grid of four key dimensions: safety, functionality, comfort, and dignity. While the first three dimensions are similar in both contexts, the “dignity” dimension, influenced by cultural and social factors, showcases notable differences. The study concludes that women-friendly cities can exhibit diverse practices based on geographic, religious, and cultural contexts. It aims to provide an analytical tool to identify these differences and assist urban planners in understanding the influence of cultural factors on spatial conviviality and urban design.
