| Abstract: | This article deals with women's use of public space and sense of place in El Raval, a neighbourhood located in the historical
center of Barcelona. Attention will be paid to discover to what degree the existence of a quality public space fosters the
creation of socially meaningful places, thus contributing to the construction of womens sense of place and urban identities.
A qualitative approach, based on direct observation and in-depth interviews with women living in the neighbourhood, has allowed
us to capture the main aspects of the building of a sense of place and belonging, that is the use of public space and facilities,
the attitude towards living in the neighbourhood, etc.
