Inadequate infrastructure + planning often pits users of shared spaces (or resources) against each other. The emerging themes in the walker vs. jogger debates echo other inter-modal discourses!

Reading through the comments, Dag Balkmar& #39;s (2018) article “Violent mobilities: men, masculinities and road conflicts in Sweden” which explores “violence(s) in traffic space as a gendered problem” seems relevant. Jogging as another violent (and gendered) mobility?

@RachelAldred& #39;s (2012) “Incompetent or Too Competent? Negotiating Everyday Cycling Identities in a Motor Dominated Society” suggests an approach that could be tailored for understanding the & #39;stigma& #39; of jogging!

Even within running circles, joggers are often stigmatized.

Having spent some time thinking of how the battle between walkers and joggers is an (unacknowledged) intra-modal debate, I have now discovered the work of @SimonIanCook and will spend the long weekend reading his site: https://jographies.wordpress.com/ ">https://jographies.wordpress.com/">...

Relatedly, I notice that the new @TfL Planning for Walking Toolkit explicitly defines jogging as & #39;walking& #39; but makes no other reference to it throughout the document (it& #39;s also missing from the list of icons illustrating different categories of pedestrian). h/t @johnstreetdales
