This thesis examines how South Asian blue-collar migrants in Muscat engage with informal social spaces beyond work and accommodation, and what these practices reveal about the conditions shaping everyday public life under temporality and unbalanced urban access. Situated within the context of rapid urbanisation, labour migration, and car-oriented planning in Oman, the study moves beyond site-based or design-centric approaches to public space by adopting a people-centred qualitative framework.
