Images of Port Cities

Description

This tutorial explains how mental maps help us (re)imagine port-cities in two steps: First, by explaining generally why people draw what they draw, and second, by explaining how images of port cities, as displayed in mental maps, are rooted and influenced by cultural frameworks of experience, and how they are biased according to the particular background of the beholder. To better understand the spatial, social, and cultural aspects that form people’s images of a port-city, it is important to first understand why they recall specific elements.
