Summary

How can tours enable us to notice and appreciate our built environment and more fully inhabit the spaces we live in and places we traverse?Towards the end of 2024, during a highly contentious election season, writer, guide and founder of Living London, Saira Niazi, spent two life-changing months in the US (New York and San Francisco).Attending various walking tours and community events, exploring hidden gems and local neighbourhoods and interviewing renegade guides, organisers and storytellers from all walks of life, Niazi sought answers to the pressing questions that prompted her journey. What makes a tour? Who decides which stories get shared? How can we make tours more inclusive and accessible? Are there other ways we can preserve and share stories of people and places at risk of being lost forever?
