This is my Master Thesis for the 4CITIES MSc in Urban Studies.
An exploration of public life in public spaces by using two methods, one derived from classical authors of public life studies, and another based on an experimental and artistic approach. Firstly, by observing people staying in a shared street in Vienna and, secondly, by following pedestrians walking in the city centre of Copenhagen I tested these two methods and discussed what they informed about urban rhythms in those cities.
