The Walking City

Hall twin of site.ssm_halls the-walking-city - the claim on the wall is the hall claim, verbatim.

The Hour Radius
A full-scale street cross-section and a floor map of the one-hour walk: before cheap transport, the human body set the size of every city on earth.
The Market Street
Stalls, carts, and second-storey living - work and home a staircase apart.
The Water Carrier's Courtyard
Every drop walked in - the courtyard well as the city's plumbing and its meeting place.
The Gate at Dawn
The walking city breathes through its gates: farmers in, night soil out, the whole exchange on foot before breakfast.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
Historical set: simulated walking-city views at the rail.
