I chanced upon this site: Robot Flâneur: Exploring Google Street View website where you can explore:
London; San Francisco; Manhattan (New York City); São Paolo, Paris; Berlin;
Johannesburg; and Mexico City via Google Earth.
You can also explore the city of your choice by going to
Google Earth and selecting the street view option, if it available for your
selected city.
This is an interesting way to view cities and be a virtual urban
flâneur. However, being an authentic urban flâneur means
being involved with the urban environment, hearing sounds, awareness of activity
and spontaneity. Nevertheless It still
holds your interest and could provide a teaching tool for Geography
instructors.
