Playable City

  • Mark Leaver
What is Playable City?: Playable City is a framework to think differently about the city, generating a social dialogue by creating shared experiences through play. Visible, democratic, surprising – it re-uses the city infrastructure to create connections – person to person, person to city. Playable City is often enabled by technology, but there are no barriers to involvement.

The Playable City programme: Over the past 3 years the Playable City programme has commissioned, via an open application award, artistic interventions which transform city spaces into places of unexpected interaction. Playable City is often enabled by technology, but it is not exclusive – there are no barriers to involvement.

Playable City is now looking for partners - cities, networks, brands - to drive a new wave of international expansion.
