URBAN EARTH: MEXICO CITY
Finally you can now browse through all the Mexico City photographs at your own pace on Flickr. Take a look at the slide show... Mumbai will be next.

URBAN EARTH: MANCHESTER

Manchester was a tough night walk with an excellent crowed of people. Thanks to Phil, Sheena-Anne, Anna, Izzy, Vicky, Richard, Andy, Marie, Liam, Jane, Richard, Iris, Kye and Pete who made it some or all of the 35km. Liam has posted a slideshow already and here's the film..

URBAN EARTH: TYNESIDE

Check out the first URBAN EARTH films - MEXICO CITY, LONDON and MUMBAI and BRISTOL are on our URBAN EARTH channel with urban adventurers planning or carrying out cool walks in exciting places including Dakar, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Birmingham and Seattle to name five on different continents. Here are two more of the films - one of Mexico City and one in Guadalajara. In this second city the film was created in collaboration between several walkers and has been set to music from the local band Telefunka giving it a very different feel to some of the other films... great stuff.

URBAN EARTH: MEXICO CITY URBAN EARTH: GUADALAJARA ----- This is URBAN EARTH's Ning. A space to bring ideas together and people into action.
URBAN EARTH is is a project to (re)present our urban habitat through a series of walks. At its heart URBAN EARTH is a story of adventure. Not the kind of adventure that is untouchable, but one that we can step into as soon as we step out of our front doors. URBAN EARTH is about exploring the spaces in which we live.

Starting and ending in fields, the rules of the URBAN EARTH are to start and end in green countryside. The route is not decided by places of fickle and biased interest, but up hidden ridges of inequality and through the most densley populated and urban of city space(s).

If you've not explored your local city before, take this as an opportunity to do so. You could take your community with you and have a talk as you go - see the city through other eyes and break down barriers. See what one group managed in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Visit the URBAN EARTH website or blog for more information.

URBAN EARTH: CANTERBURY

Great news. We've been awarded £250 from SUSO for being such a great project and a German publisher has bought 6 photographs from the Mumbai walk for a new text book. This modest £450 budget it going to be used to hire out the youth hostel in Canterbury for a very special urban weekend. More details to follow shortly....

URBAN EARTH: TYNESIDE

This account of the walk across Tynside was emailed to me by Dick over the weekend. I find it inspirational and actually is what brought about the idea for URBAN EARTH: DAY (twitter). I hope you like it as much as I do. Great work Dick.

Bogotá -- buscando gente y aprendiendo sobre el proyecto

21 de enero de 2009, dos días después de descubrir esta iniciativa global de Mr. Daniel Raven-Ellison, estoy enviando invitaciones y comentando con amigos. Entusiasmo a veces, muchas preguntas también.

Se vale en carro? en bici? Estaré averiguando y pondré las respuestas aquí.

Cómo se hacen los videos?
En Windows, en los foros mencionan un software que se llama MonkeyJam. Bastante fácil de usar y los resultados son inmediatos (casi).
Sobre Mac, iStopMotion.

Out of the Urban

You may have noticed that Christelle (who found out about Urban Earth from Anna who was on the Mexico City and Guadalajara walks) is organising a walk across Thies in Senegal. If you're in the area why not pop along. A few have already agreed to take part. The following day on the 24th we will be walking across Newcastle in the NE of England too.

On another note check out these two films "Rural Earth" by Noel Jenkins and "Coastal Earth" by Richard Allaway. Fun stuff.
