Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study how women’s perceived unsafety in the urban environment shape their capabilities. By conducting qualitative in-depth interviews, this paper gained deeper insight into women’s individual experiences of street harassment and how it can shape their capabilities, rather than focusing on the number of cases. The findings show that women have many different experiences of perceived unsafety in the urban environment. This can potentially shape women’s individual capabilities of mobility, bodily integrity and mental well-being. This paper has also studied which physical and social features of the urban environment are perceived to be (un)safe by women. Through adjustments in spatial planning practices and other policy areas, improvements can be made in regard to women’s perceived safety in the urban environment.
