From user-generated images of streets to professional architectural
renderings, and from digital maps and drone footages to
representations of invisible digital ecologies, this collection of
essays analyses the emergent practices of visualizing the street.
Today, advancements in digital technologies of the image have given
rise to the production and dissemination of imagery of streets and
urban realities in multiple forms. The ubiquitous presence of
digital visualizations has in turn created new forms of urban
practice and modes of spatial encounter. Everyone who carries a
smartphone not only plays an increasingly significant role in the
production, editing and circulation of images of the street, but
also relies on those images to experience urban worlds and to
navigate in them. Such entangled forms of image-making and
image-sharing have constructed new imaginaries of the street and
have had a significant impact on the ways in which contemporary and
future streets are understood, imagined, documented, navigated,
mediated and visualized. Visualizing the Street investigates the
social and cultural significance of these new developments at the
intersection of visual culture and urban space. The
interdisciplinary essays provide new concepts, theories and
research methods that combine close analyses of street images and
imaginaries with the study of the practices of their production and
circulation. The book covers a wide range of visible and invisible
geographies - From Hong Kong's streets to Rio's favelas, from
Sydney's suburbs to London's street markets, and from Damascus'
war-torn streets to Istanbul's sidewalks - and engages with
multiple ways in which visualizations of the street function to
document street protests and urban change, to build imaginaries of
urban communities and alternate worlds, and to help navigate
streetscapes.
