E. B. Gallardo Ethnography This page is dedicated to exploring an Aesthetics of the City. As an urban ethnographer, I study city culture and cultures in the city.

I listen to the people, places, things, and activities of the city and tell their stories. My specialty is the Street. I am fascinated by the dynamic relationship between and among human beings and the built environment. I document the processes and products of this relationship: the artful, ingenious, and often unpredictable ways we humans and the city interact, negotiate, make ourselves heard, c

reate value, carve out a little space and comfort, and in so doing impact one another. I call this ‘Aesthetics of the City.’ We take part in city aesthetics everyday, in ways large and small. Doing so, we produce culture. I ask, what is it we produce? I aim to bring to light what we may overlook. To celebrate what we may take for granted. To remind us to take a good look around and to fully engage who and what we see and experience.

A compassionate position toward the homeless on the UWS articulated by UWSstrong in An Open Letter to City Officials: "We write because we are deeply disturbed by a rise in inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric and incitements to violence against vulnerable New Yorkers who are living on the streets or in shelters...All individuals who share our neighborhood—whether permanently or temporarily—deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their living situation, race, medical condition, or economic means."

We write to you as members of the Upper West Side community who are concerned about issues of safety, human rights, and racial injustice in our neighborhood. We are residents, parents, patrons, and property and business owners. We all have a stake in the safety and vibrancy of our neighborhood, whic...
