The purpose of this research is to analyse the role of urban public spaces in the creation of intercultural and social inclusion/exclusion relations. We focus on the use and appropriation of these spaces from a gender approach that considers specifically the experiences of migrant families. Besides, we use the feminist concept of positionality to understand how the social situatedness of migrants conditions their practices of citizenship (gender, ethnicity, education, immigration status, social class, age and generations, length of stay, and migration experiences).
