We can see cities as both process and product – which work in complex and contradictory ways for
the many people who experience them. For this assignment we want you to look for and show how
different people experience the same part of the city differently. For example, the same spot in a city
will be experienced and represented differently by a tourist compared to a local resident; by a young
man compared to an old woman; by a healthy person compared to a person with disabilities; by a
homeless person compared to a homeowner. Similarly, different neighborhoods within the same city
can have very different physical attributes (texture of built form, density, greenery, sanitation, and
infrastructure) or social composition.
In this assignment you will take a virtual tour to observe and document the differences, inequalities,
contradictions, and contrasts within the city in terms of socio-economic resources, spatial, physical,
and cultural characteristics. This exercise can help you see the various aspects of a city and how your
impression, experience, and understanding depends on where you stand: your gender, race, class,
neighborhood, physical ability, and social position.
Requirements
You will use a variety of sources for this assignment, combined with short explanations for each
source. You will also submit a concise, 1 paragraph long summary of your StoryMap, a few
questions that intrigue you, and a properly formatted list of references.
Audiovisual and textual materials: You may add videos, documentaries, photographs, songs, artwork, or
other audiovisual materials that represent a dimension of urban life or development of the city. You
will supplement these with textual sources like news reports, blog posts, or academic articles that
explain your audiovisual materials or similarly represent a dimension of urban life. All of your
sources must be represented on a map in ArcGIS StoryMaps – for example, if you’re using a
photograph, you will tag it at the specific place where it was taken. You may also use other tools (e.g.We can see cities as both process and product – which work in complex and contradictory ways for
