Trubarjeva Steps

“Their story begins at ground level, with footsteps,” wrote Michel de Certeau decades ago when reflecting on walking through New York City. Metropolises are defined by their constant mixing and matching, producing hybrid forms that gradually settle into distinct corners of the urban landscape. These forms are reshaped again and again by recurring social encounters that animate daily life in the city’s streets. While large urban centers brim with the potential for fusion and amalgamation, in smaller, more decentralized places this blending unfolds at a different pace and in different ways. Trubarjeva ulica in Ljubljana is one such place.
