ABSTRACT Public spaces in Global East cities are socially hierarchical, with green and blue spaces often being reserved for affluent urbanites. In contrast, in Hong Kong, grey spaces are accessed by marginalised residents. On Sundays, female migrant domestic workers – typically invisible in the city – gather for collective leisure fitness in the grey spaces. Previous research has explored the affordances of various urban environments and their relationship with individual and social well-being.
