This, it can be argued, takes form when the ritual participants are provided with the opportunity to engage with their unconscious habitus and autonomous physiological reactions through embodiment of intimacy.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge ett underlag som planerare kan använda sig av när de undersöker olika möjligheter i städer som har en låg andel parkmiljöer, men som har tillgång till flodnära mark med potential att utvecklas till urbana parker.
