Cities of refuge and resistance: Everyday urban spaces, social inclusion & the hostile environment. The shaping of the urban lives of people seeking a

这项研究将探索控制在伦敦寻求庇护的人的城市生活的因素。它将使用参与性和可视化方法，确定有意义的城市空间，并了解它们如何促进和抑制社会连通性、健康和福祉的机会，以对抗法律地位和故意排斥的庇护制度的限制。它将侧重于伦敦两个行政区被拒绝和当前寻求庇护者的生活经历，探索城市包容和排斥的空间层面--从使用城市绿地、广场和街道等公共空间到咖啡馆、图书馆和社区中心等无障碍的半公共空间--以及寻求庇护者如何使用日常策略来颠覆和抵制不稳定的法律地位和排斥政策的影响，这些影响在心理和建筑环境中表现出来。它试图将城市空间理论化为避难所、抵抗和敌意的场所，并概念化社会法律约束如何管理和规范寻求庇护者的城市生活。

The research will explore the factors governing the urbanlives of people seeking asylum in London. Usingparticipatory and visual methods, it will identify significanturban spaces and understand how they facilitate and inhibitopportunities for social connectivity, health and wellbeingagainst the constraints of legal status and an intentionallyexclusionary asylum system. Focusing on the livedexperiences of refused and current asylum seekers in twoLondon boroughs, it will explore the spatial dimensions ofurban inclusion and exclusion - from uses of public spacessuch as urban greenspace, squares and the streets toaccessible semi-public spaces such as cafes, libraries andcommunity centres - and how asylum seekers employeveryday tactics to subvert and resist the effects ofprecarious legal status and exclusionary policy whichmanifest psychologically and in the built environment. Itseeks to theorise urban spaces as sites of refuge,resistance and hostility and conceptualise how socio-legalconstraints manage and regulate the urban lives of asylumseekers.
