Abstract or Description
This paper is the written version of a talk on the relationship between the cadence of walking and the rhythms of music, speech and thought. It is an effort to think through the phenomenological experience of walking and the ways that this experience is afforded by urban life and reflected in culture. In doing so, the paper offers a caution against the celebration of transhuman speed, while advocating for both social research and urban design that resonate with the rhythmic cadences of walking.
