Plans tend to emphasize objects: buildings, blocks, parcels. A walk shifts attention to what sits between them. The in-between city is full of evidence—informal shortcuts, shaded curbs, borrowed parking spaces, and doors that serve more than one address.

These spaces are not empty. They negotiate ownership, movement, maintenance, and belonging. Their improvised uses often reveal needs a formal program missed.

On your next walk, photograph only the gaps. Draw the path rather than the destination. Ask what each leftover space already permits, and what a small architectural move could protect rather than replace.
