Some examples - what to look for?

Look and record such aspects as:

  • What words and images describe what there is

  • why is the place used in this way

  • how could it be used

  • how does it make you feel

  • what would you want to change and why

  • what do the locals feel etc


The key task is to explore and uncover the geographical richness of what is immediately round you, however apparently unpromising that might seem at first glance.  For example, even an alleyway of lock-ups can provide geographical links.  Investigations into such things as the differential flows of traffic junctions, the flora and fauna of pavements and hedges, underground routings of sewers and wires, trees in the local park, street names and patterns, local places of worship, the age size and shape of houses, and the chains of supply to the local shops all have potential.
