"Built & Grown" is a walk from the podcast series "Invitation to Walk // Audio Walks." The four episodes guide and entice listeners to experiment with body awareness while walking. They are designed to explore the city through somatics, choreography, and artistic research. The content touches on anatomical and physiological aspects of perception, backgrounds in body philosophy and embodied cognition, the history and practices of walking art and performance art, as well as urban history.

This walk examines the built and the grown in both the body and the city, using one's own body as a research tool. During the walk, perception exercises are suggested. Always be mindful of your safety while you are out and about. Ensure your playback device is sufficiently charged. Use non-noise-canceling headphones so you can hear ambient sounds, and choose appropriate, weather-resistant shoes and clothing to walk comfortably outdoors.

This walk is partially accessible (there may not be lowered curbs everywhere). If you are visually impaired, it is recommended to undertake this walk with a sighted person.

Alternative locations: Any clearly defined urban area.
