Security – for tourists, especially for Chinese tourists
Perspective toward Chinese community in Barcelona. What is the chinese community here?
I like that you’re researching storage spaces as a solution to your identified problem!
Theft is such an interesting topic from an urban design point of view, how can we design safer spaces and small storage options.
Are there spaces where theft is reduced because of design?
There is an article that deals with “uncivil behaviors” in Barcelona and how local agencies are working together to ensure that the city is safer for residents. I think this may be useful to consider what civic opportunities/actions can be implemented in areas with higher incidence of stealing that can also ensure visitors are safe.

Also, this video provides an interesting perspective of a resident who travels through the metro system warning people about pickpocketing.
