Streetnotes

How do bodies and cities shape each other through habit? An Anthology of Urban Habits -- a special issue of Streetnotes edited by Jorge de La Barre, Blagovesta Momchedjikova, and Jo Novelli-Blasko -- attempts to investigate that by showcasing 133 repeated activities and behaviors occurring in cities around the world: Antofagasta, Athens, Lisbon, London, New York City, Phoenix, Rio de Janeiro, Sofia, Tbilisi, and Tokyo. Organized alphabetically and contributed by 91 authors, the urban habits appear in ethnographic studies, documentary practices, academic research, poetry, photography, and original artwork. The volume includes the original Call for Papers for An Anthology of Urban Habits (see Appendix A), The Survey of Urban Habits (see Appendix B), which was developed with The Habitorium, and the resulting Report on the Survey of Urban Habits (see Appendix C).
