Learn everything about playful cities
Sara Candiracci has led the publication of the Playful Cities Design Guide. She, alongside Dasha Moschonas and other co-authors, have created a framework for understanding the complexity and importance of play in cities, for guiding the design process for play-based interventions, and for measuring these interventions’ impact. They will explain us everything about this guide in their lecture, but you can already download it here:
Let’s dive into Placemaking!
David Engwicht is an absolute legend when it comes to placemaking. You can have a look at one of his multiple Ted Talks where he explains the importance of this concept. Besides that, you can also head to Creative Communitie’s wepage and start learning with the multiple free resources they offer. Enjoy!
