Walking connects the rhythms of urban life to the configuration of
urban spaces. As the contributors and editors show in Walking in
Cities, walking also reflects the systematic inequalities that
order contemporary urban life. Walking has different meanings
because it can be a way of temporarily "taking possession" of urban
space, or it can make the relatively powerless more vulnerable to
crime. The essays in Walking in Cities explore how walking
intersects with sociological dimensions such as gender, race and
ethnicity, social class, and power. Various chapters explorethe
flaneuse, or female urban drifter, in Tehran's shopping malls;
Hispanic neighborhoods in New York, San Diego, and El Paso; and the
intra-neighborhood and inter-class dynamics of gentrification in
Greenpoint, Brooklyn.The essays in Walking in Cities provide
important lessons about urban life.
