Newcastle has many pedestrian underpasses and this walking tour explores six of them (in Jesmond and Sandyford). It considers people's attitudes towards them, people's experiences of them and their design and management.
This tour is part one of the ESRC Festival of Science event 'Experiencing and improving public spaces' hosted by Ian Cook and Clare Wiper (Northumbria University).
If you have any queries about the event contact ian.cook@northumbria.ac.uk
This tour is followed by a creative workshop on public space, which you are welcome to join (and requires separate booking). Click here for details and registration.
