摘要:The embodied city is a common notion upheld by several theorists/writers. The street, like the highway, for example, becomes part of the city/body's organs. Where the latter might be referred to as an artery, the street might be referred to as the city/body's veins. Bridges, as used in this paper on the other hand, may be likened to capillaries, which exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide (serving as a healthy exchange). As will be argued further in this paper, bridged have the capability to create spatial stratification, in the guise of good intentions (separating the pedestrians―or those who have no cars―from the dangers transportations might bring, raises the question whether these pedestrian bridges are for the sake of the pedestrians or for the transport owners). And as will be seen, people have managed to resist such separation (and transformation); creating an excess from this 'text.'
