description In the contemporary urban context, safety in public space presents profound inequalities linked to gender, especially in the night period. This research explores how the subjective perception of security in the central district of Madrid affects women’s mobility patterns and use of public space. Through a mixed methodology, which combines spatial analysis with sensitive cartographies and collective mapping, it seeks to make visible the conditions of (in)security experienced in the city. The approach adopts a feminist and multi-scalar perspective, ranging from the object to the district scale. The analysis is structured around four layers: mobility, urban environment, green areas and night-time uses. Tools such as Geographic Information Systems were used for the treatment of objective data and qualitative techniques such as interviews and tours accompanied by a set of subjective perceptions.
