Urban Earth

Having spent time last week looking at functions of settlements and the settlement hierarchy, my Yr10 group started this morning's lesson with Dan Raven-Ellison's Urban Earth: London video...

This is Dan's explanation of the Urban Earth project, taken from the website:

"URBAN EARTH is is a project to (re)present our urban habitat through a series of walks. At its heart URBAN EARTH is a story of adventure. Not the kind of adventure that is untouchable, but one that we can step into as soon as we step out of our front doors. URBAN EARTH is about exploring the spaces in which we live.

Starting and ending in fields, the rules of the URBAN EARTH are to start and end in green countryside. The route is not decided by places of fickle and biased interest, but up hidden ridges of inequality and through the most densley populated and urban of city space(s). "

If you want to watch the London video again, or have a look at some of the other videos, they are available at www.urbanearth.co.uk, and you can find many of the photos from the walks on Urban Earth's Flickr page.

Will you be the first person to leave a comment telling me where in the world this picture was taken?!
