By engaging people in cognitive mapping exercises, Pedestrian City can be used as:

  • A public engagement tool.  It encourages people to create memory maps as a way to make connections between the places they go and interactions they experience in a city. This helps them to connect the things they’ve noticed but maybe never put together in the same mental space, highlighting both celebrated and contested spaces.
  • A way for people to contribute to their city’s collective memory.  To contextualize neighbourhoods through the exploration of spatial memories and associations, and how these relate to how we choose our routes through the city.
  • An exercise in psychogeography to create visual narratives of the city.
