Explore the neighborhoods
Begin at street level
One capital.
More than one way in.
Choose a neighborhood and a reason to linger. The useful details appear when you give a place some room.
A closer look
The street is part of the story.
Notice the scale of a passage, a doorway and the lives around it. Keep residential places in view with consideration.

Make room for
the ordinary city.
A market can be a meal, a building, a question or a conversation. Begin with the place and the people who work there.

Then find your next street.
A wider view can help you read the setting. Keep the actual journey and current park arrangements separate from the photograph.
