Why is it important?
This study is part of a wider interest in taking seriously the lived experiences of urban design initiatives in order to ensure viable designs for future cities. The study is particularly important for local authorities and designers with an interest in ensuring and critically engaging with the 'effects' of their designs and ways of representing such experiences through ethnographic research.
Perspectives
The article emerges from a wider interest in the relationship between urban design practices (counting architectural designs, landscape architecture and most recently lighting designs) and the sensory experiences of their visitors. The research speaks to wider debates in urban design and planning, following my aim at taking embodied sensations and the diversity of lived experiences more seriously in urban design and planning practice.
