Abstract

This article presents an urban walkography experience conducted along the margins of the São Gonçalo Canal in Pelotas, Brazil, during the first half of 2024. Through five walks performed by a group of 14 researchers, the methodological phases of recording, playing, and creating were applied, facilitating the exploration of relationships between culture, nature, and the built environment within a specific territory. Collaborative analysis, supported by an interactive table, generated a map synthesizing the walkers’ records and sensations, evidencing the production of individual and collective subjectivities. This study contributes to reflections on the integration of culture and nature in landscape and territory management, proposing new ways of apprehending and interacting with urban spaces and their margins. In a context demanding interdisciplinary and prospective approaches, the research suggests new paradigms for territorial planning and design.
