<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper presents a philosophical reflection on space and the significance of urban living. Inspired by a close reading of Michel de Certeau’s <jats:italic>The Practice of Everyday Life</jats:italic>, the paper unveils some of its philosophical inspirations (e.g., Kant, Wittgenstein and Freud) and it elaborates on a notion of space that is grasped through narrative and the act of walking understood as ‘space opening’. In so doing, the paper unveils the limits of a cartographic depiction of space (as well as the limits of ‘theory’ itself) and, together with de Certeau, it explores the potentialities of a bodily and metaphoric interpretation of space.</jats:p>
