ABSTRACT
Written from the perspective of a dance artist-researcher, this practice-as-research project aims at awakening public awareness of the way large infrastructural works produce particular pedestrian movement affordances, directly impacting upon people's desire to walk. Urban planning and design set out pathways in the space. The aesthetic experience along these lines of motion plays an important role in stimulating the inclination for walking. Because of their small territory, Malta offers a unique case study for exploring the impact that road projects have on pedestrian mobility. The authors conclude that the changes caused by massive infrastructural projects affect the way people perceive their environment and the enjoyment of walking.
