Ana Correa do Lago

Ana is an MS graduate in Urban Ecologies (Parsons School of Design), from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her research interests focus on the intersection of urban development and local responses to extreme climate events (MS thesis: Responses to water security in São Paulo in the aftermath of the 2015 water accessibility crisis). Along with urban policy and data mapping analysis, her methods often include ethnography and walking as a part of her research practice.

cat-foot

Cats aren’t known for clomping around like Clydesdales; they’re stealthy. That’s why cat-footing refers to walking that’s more subtle and graceful than that of the average oaf. In Harry L. Wilson’s 1916 book Somewhere in Red Gap, this word appears in characteristic fashion: “…I didn’t yell any more. I cat-footed. And in a minute I was up close.” Cat-footing is a requirement for a career as a cat burglar. Credits to Mark Peters.
