Urban Earth: an urban adventure comes to manchester

URBAN EARTH is a project to (re)present some of the world’s largest urban areas by walking across them. The length of the walk is decidedby the size of the urban footprint while the route reflects the city’sdistribution and levels of deprivation. Adventurers capture the city in anyway they choose, talking, sharing and creating as they experiencethe city from the perspective of a pedestrian.

URBAN EARTH walks have taken place across Mexico City, Mumbai, Theis,Guadalajara, London, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Bristol and now Greater Manchester.
