Understanding The City

In order to analyse a city you have to understand its characteristics and the chracteristics of its users. The analysis came through a number of different mediums which in turn comes from the people that are likely to use the city.
A city works on a number of different levels, these levels are all equally as important as one another and allow each level to work as a whole unit in order to ensure that the city lives and breathes as a unit. All of these levels require one simple element that allows city growth and that is human participation.
No matter in what form, people are what makes a city works. In order for us to understand how the city works we wanted to ensure that we knew how its users felt along our journey. The maps below highlight the different personas we undertook and allowed us to gain a knowledgable feel for the city.
