Description

The Everyday Life Generators Map is a special tool designed with a gender perspective to help young women navigate and engage with their urban environments. It identifies elements that generate everyday life and provides insights into spaces that contribute to various aspects of women's lives. This map is aimed at empowering young women to explore and make the most of their surroundings. The map highlights the productive or reproductive activities that are taking place, the elements that foster everyday experiences, such as places to sit and rest, pleasant spaces, areas for play, spaces for care, observation spots, and ground floor spaces that encourage interaction. It also includes essential facilities like bus stops and basic amenities such as public toilets and drinking fountains.

Approximately 8 hours:

• 2 hours to note on the map the important things before the observation
• 3 hours to make the observation in the public space (for a 15 minutes distance)
• 3 hours to put together the results and get some conclusions.
