Walking in Downtown Kitchener

Draft, April 25, 2021

Below is a table of contents with links to a new online learning resource I am creating about walking in downtown Kitchener.

The multimedia content is being developed, updated and released in real time throughout 2021. It uses the following four interlinked online platforms:

This Blog	Walking	My blog, periodically active since 2011, is to support learning about the urban walking experience, broadly conceived. Here I will post status updates of My 15 Minute City.
Website	KitchenerWalks	A website, periodically updated since 2012, provides resources and reflections for those who enjoy walking about Kitchener, Ontario.
Storymap	My 15 Minute City	My new multimedia project with oral narratives, videos and maps specifically about walking to discover the virtues of downtown Kitchener as a 15 minute city.
YouTube Channel	Bob Sharpe	A storage place for processing and streaming longer video content used in the sites above.

Before working on this project, I had two other ideas in mind.  One was to write a book about walking, and the other was to write a geographical case study about downtown Kitchener.   This online project is a realization of both those aspirations in a way I didn't expect, but I think entirely appropriate for the content and purpose.  And for me, it's enjoyable work.
