The project Walking the City emerged out of teaching experience obtained in the academic programme Caminar Barcelona. Caminar Barcelona is an urbanism course which has been taught in the School of Architecture of Barcelona since 2004. Three teaching innovations constitute the methodological basis of this academic project: the first innovation is the implementation Barcelona guided tours, the second innovation is the graphical representation of the city by students and the third is the introduction of the information and communication technologies [ICT]. Applied methodology enables students to acquire knowledge in situ and to implement processes of collective reflection and graphical representation of the city, which are later shared on the Walking the city website. The possibility of taking the urban theory to streets gives students a better comprehension of the urban reality. In that sense, multidisciplinary exchange and visual documentation make the learning process more dynamic.
