The fantastic walkit site and blog has inspired me to think again about the effect of the environment on our thinking. Walkit is essentially about urban journeys by foot. It's a great idea.
Urban earth takes a different slant of the experience of cities as a kind of art. Go straight to one of their films to get the feel: this one's set in Bristol.
I'm going to be doing some research in this area (starting - ahem - when OUP send me the books they owe me for a review I did), and I'd really like to hear from people about their experience of walking, whether in the urban or rural environment.
Here are the themes:
physical activity and effects on emotion and thinking
location/environment and effects on emotion and thinking
and if anyone can make a meaningful link to psychogeography, I'd be grateful.
