How the City Interferes with Walking: Case-study in a Commercial Street of Central Paris

Résumé

Primary fieldwork shows that everyday urban walking is characterized by discontinuity, meandering and ‘stop-and-go’ movements. This complexity is produced by seemingly constant ‘interruptions’, including other pedestrians, delivery services, people lingering, retail stalls, outdoor café extensions, containers and vehicles, urban furniture, as well as a variety of activities and sensory perceptions. We argue that these interruptions are inherent in urban walking, enhancing the presence of the city in pedestrian movement and enriching the experience of pedestrians. However, the actual urban planning and traffic regulations appear to be inadequate in governing this complexity through rigid spatial and social boundaries.
