Abstract: I will be sharing insights and learnings from the urban studies project YOUTH. The project seeks to create a comprehensive methodological framework for studying foundational disadvantages as part of youthhood within the context of social inequality and its intersection with social media. This framework aims to understand youthhood as a constructed reality with discursive, symbolic, and material dimensions. In focus are their (non)digital access to urban public spaces and their (non)virtual representation. The project leans towards methodological triangulation in collaboration with NGOs to include the voices of young people, especially in their use of digital and non-digital means to access public spaces.
