The talk will approach the topic of emotion in the city from a twofold perspective. On the one hand, the concept of urban 'atmospheres' will be used to describe the effect of buildings on their users and perceivers. Atmosphere is thus considered to emerge from the interaction of built space and social agents. On the other hand, urban agents will form a point of departure to question how urban spaces are 'flooded' with individual 'feelings'.
