The City and The Explorer : Imagination within journeys in a city

Today when there is a notion that the entire globe has been mapped people have turned to travel as leisure. Stories inspire travel. True or false fact or fiction people traverse  the globe in pursuit of lore and legend - hoping to discover and explore places that have captured their imagination. The quest of discovery urges man to travel and figure the unknown. The journey of discovery has always been a way for intellectuals to test their ideas. In the eighteenth century aristocrats and artists undertook the perils of the grand tour in order to discover the authentic origins of their own culture. Man has always been keen to know more and explore.  If the same questioning eye could be used in a city fabric then the idea of exploration could be experienced by the city dwellers on a daily basis thus enriching their experience.
