Dr Carol McKenzie commented on Dr Carol McKenzie's blog post Smelling Glasgow? The Role of Smell in Urban Design"Hi Victoria
Many thanks for this. I will certainly look these up. I think it's an interesting dimension to think of the city like this. I wonder how smells affect us in how we navigate the streets and how that might influence our experiences…"
