The aesthetics of place-temporality in everyday urban space: the case of Fitzroy Square

Abstract

In looking at the rhythms of geographies, and drawing upon a wide range of geographical contexts, this book explores the ordering ofAs they travel and change location, many people notice that some cities are characterised by a vivid and contrasting sense of time, and at a smaller scale, so are particular places within cities. Such cities and places are commonly perceived as fast or slow. And within cities, specific urban places are perceived to be temporally distinct. The sense of time is not only somewhat intersubjective but also location or place-specific. This paper explores a sense of time insofar as it relates to the specifics of urban places, and as it varies according to the distinctive aesthetics associated with temporality. The focus is on the temporal aesthetics of urban places and the notion of place-temporality in the way it is defined through its experiential attributes.
