This research focuses on the everyday life body and raises questions about the body and city relationship. Our hypothesis considered the body movement as a sensory tool that defines the city rhythm; and is related to the body experience in the space. Body movement in the city is a human activity and a common denominator in human experience, while moving in an urban space we sensory and we interact in the urban space. This research documented the body movement in five urban areas in Toronto (during April to June of 2011); and analysed how the body experiences the space. The movement analysis was made during a week-day in the period between 11am and 13am.
