If you find this interesting, you’ll likely also find this book interesting https://www.bldgblog.com/topics/a-burglars-guide-to-the-city.... The book is really a taster for the other posts in the blog https://www.bldgblog.com/
Seconding the recommendation for the Burglar's Guide book, it's very good, as is the blog.
The essay reminds me very much of how my perspective on urban space changed when I started bicycling around my city, and ow it changed my relationship with the space. The city got smaller, and I got into a relationship with the topography -- hills relate to cycling more profoundly than to walking or driving.
https://burglarsguide.com/ is the book site
This is about subjectively experiencing the different spaces of a city, mostly as a pedestrian. Which is cool and all, but I was hoping for more of what someone dubbed "Real world UX" just yesterday. The world needs more real world UX.
This reminds me of https://wanderersunion.club/
which I had meant to attend but never did.
