Abstract. People in cities live their daily lives “on the move”, following habitual paths with stopping points at their destination sites. These “movement trajectories”, forming urban choreographies, are more and more interconnected by use of digital devices. By applying the phenomenology of the body and recent theoretical discussions of choreography and kinaesthesia, I will approach urban choreographies in the context of the smart city, addressing questions of urban power dynamics.
