Recently, a motion from Green Councillor Holly Bruce has been passed at Glasgow City Council which will see Glasgow making women central to " all aspects of planning, public realm design, policy development and budgets".

We must question how we all experience the city, through our individual journeys and the spaces we each inhabit. Themes around accessibility, thresholds, topography, hidden spaces, public transport systems, lighting, safety, seating, shelter, pedestrian crossings, cycling, nature, air quality, and play affect everyone in different ways.

During the Architecture Fringe Festival 2023, Missing in Architecture in partnership with students of the Mackintosh School of Architecture hosted a live walk on Sunday 4th June. We captured individual experiences of moving through Glasgow by asking people to upload images of their walk to a Padlet page.

The walk began at the statue of Queen Victoria in George Square and people were invited to walk to 3 other statues of women in Glasgow, Dolores Ibarruri on the banks of the Clyde, Mary Barbour, in Govan and Isabella Elder in Elderpark. These routes highlighted the under-representation of women in Glasgow and the varying levels of accessible routes for people of the city.
