Until recently, most studies on public space had been focused on the analysis of places, pedestrians and citizenship; in many cases those studies had neglected and even demonized flows of people, objects and information and the use of automobile, privileging a dual approach that I call “civic humanism”. This reflection discusses the concept of urban experience in its relationship to a dynamic, mobile, and transhuman urban ecology. The argument explores, in a critical perspective, the metaphor of the tortoise and the hare as an interpretive tool in the cultural analysis of mobilities and its integral role in everyday practices, materiality of the city and urban culture. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472X62
