Urban walkography: experiencing the city in a creative and immersive way

Abstract

Walkography is the act of walking and mapping simultaneously. A practice that has been developed by the research, teaching and extension group, Cidade+Contemporanidade, which lives in the south of Brazil, in the city of Pelotas. The article presents the methodology of walkography being exercised during an afternoon that covers the Colina do Sol and Treptow microregions, in Pelotas, where the perspective is expanded based on the meeting, the game and collective writing. The powers of walkography are evident, mainly in the pedagogical sense of experiencing the city and its multiple layers.
