The Grid Project Home New photographic Grid Projects were carried out in Birmingham and Halifax in 2023.

The projects, In Search of Urban Happiness, used different methods to previous projects and, along with photographers, work from writers and poets was welcomed. The projects were based on Kevin Lynch's research at MIT. More details about the methods used can be seen here.


"A good environmental image gives its possessor an important sense of emotional security."

"A legible city would be one whose districts or landmarks or pathways are easily identifiable and are easily grouped into an overall pattern."

Kevin Lynch, The Image of the City (1960)
