Privileged, gendered, uneven, the city exercises authority and control over its inhabitants. What masks as public, in truth, is private. Its space and structures are fixed by its economic and political operations, impenetrable to the lived practices of its inhabitants. To transgress boundaries is to reclaim urban space for its residents. Urbanism is recast as a space of social production; the city is a contest

Abstract:
The current PhD thesis explores the influence of the built environment on the affective walking experience. In fact, while urbanisation trends are increasing, levels of walking in urban settings are decreasing, despite to the important health, social, and environmental benefits of walking. However, while there is a rich body of research indicating that walking in natural spaces supports psychological wellbeing, there is a general lack of literature on the potential benefits of walking in urban settings specifically.

This thesis examines the fiction of Neil Bartlett, Sarah Waters and Alan Hollinghurst, considering how they write missing voices of sexuality, gender and class back into history through re-imagining the city space. It examines the ways in which traditional, linear narratives and the notion of objectivity in historical discourse are challenged when history is presented through fiction.Waters, Bartlett and Hollinghurst are writing the past from the perspective of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, both employing and subverting traditional narrative genres.

Walkability indices are currently used for a wide range of research and commercial applications.

With 14 years of traffic study data from the City of Ottawa, a spatial auto-regressive (SAR) multi-level model (MLM) was used to understand the proportion of variance in walking explained by the commercial Walk Score® index and selected weather variables.

Trends towards ‘informalization’ are looming large in the world today. African cities have long been characterised by the presence of an ‘informal sector’ but are now experiencing new waves of ‘informalization’. Policies of liberalisation and structural adjustment are both changing the conditions under which urban dwellers make a living and encouraging states to abdicate from responsibilities for popular welfare. In this context, urbanites increasingly rely on informal ways of income earning and of social security provisioning. This book is about processes of ‘informalization’ in the West Afri

Abstract:
Vancouver’s downtown peninsula symbolically describes the sense of place unique to the city as a whole. It is a livable city with a strong connection to its natural surroundings, witnessed in its very active population. This sense of place, however, has far more to do with its relationships to its natural setting, the mountains and ocean, than its urban spaces or architecture. Most of the central public spaces are quite ordinary. Although the temperate climate is ideal for inhabiting streets and squares, the majority of the city’s prominent public spaces exist along the water’s edge. Ultimatel

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>營建工程系<br>106<br>One of the most commonly used passageways for the pedestrians in Taiwan is the arcades. Nonetheless, it is observed that the inconvenience of walking on the arcades is caused by the width of the passageways and the height difference. Consequently, realizing what influences the efficiency and safety of the arcades is worth exploring. This study is conducted by quantitative assessment so as to understand the pedestrians’ flow by establishing simulated scenario with controlling factors and evacuating the pedestrians walking on different leveling of the arcades an

Recently, the tourism trend focuses more on the in-depth and half-day travelling. Speaking of in-depth travelling, which is the best way to experience the beauty of Tainan, many people like to walk through alleys to find out historical sites and some unique stores. Tainan City Government has provided some free walking tour guiding for tourists to join. The name of the service is called “Tainan Michelin Three-star Touring”. Actually, there are another priv

From its distinction during the 1920s as the hub of black culture and commerce in America to its later reputation as the unmitigated manifestation of inner city decay, Harlem evokes an urban palimpsest, a lived geographic space onto which collective desires and fears are written and overwritten. Because of the symbolic place Harlem occupies in the national imaginary, my dissertation focuses on this central public site.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates two art performances involving walking in the city that are conceptualized as exilic works of art: Krzysztof Wodiczko's Vehicle performed in 1973 in Warsaw; and Adrian Piper's Catalysis performed from 1970 to 1971 in New York. My contention is that Wodiczko's and Piper's walks in the city can be examined by applying a threefold understanding of exile. First, these important performative artworks made manifest in the form of artistic walks are marginalized within, or exiled from, an institutionalized mainstream art. Second, the artists themselves communicate either pers
