Previously called 'Things I Have Seen', this project is about 'Covering' an entire city through walking. Right now, we're focussing on my hometown in the Netherlands, Amersfoort, but who knows what cities we'll cover after this one?
Rules
- Legality
Only walk streets and paths where pedestrians are legally allowed. - Coverage
Each street only has to be walked once. - Functional Equivalence
Where two parallel streets serve the same function (e.g., a main road and its service road), walking one is sufficient. Parallel streets separated by a block or more must each be walked. - Pedestrian-Only Streets
Pedestrian-only streets are generally excluded, except when:
- The street has an official street name, and
- It provides access to the front doors of multiple residences or buildings.
Singular unnamed paths or private driveways are not required.
- Access Restrictions
Streets blocked by signs such as No Entry, Private Property, or similar are excluded. Temporary closures (e.g., construction, events) should be revisited later.
Amersfoort
Curious to see my progress? The map below is an interactive and live (meaning I update it after every walk I do) overview of where I've been so far. More details coming soon.
Video diary
My walks are documented in short form videos. You can find the most recent episode below, as well as all the other ones in de the dedicated playlist on YouTube.
