Urban Chorology is a walk that investigates the 'choreography' of time inherent in, under, and around the layers of the urban landscape. Chorology studies the character of regions and places through understanding the interrelation between different realms of reality and their varied manifestations. Walkers will choose from a number of routes and activities. The Carroll Street Bridge over the Gowanus Canal will be featured and the walk will end at Four & Twenty Blackbirds Bakery in the Gowanus.
