This book provides an empirical analysis of the concept of play as
a form of spatial practice in urban public spaces. The introduced
City-Play-Framework (CPF) is a practical urban analysis tool that
allows urban designers, landscape architects and researchers to
develop a shared awareness when opening up this window of
possibility for adventure. Two case studies substantiate and
illustrate the development process and testing of the framework in
Canberra, Australia, and Potsdam, Germany. The appropriation of
public spaces that transcend boundaries can facilitate an intrinsic
connection between people and their immediate environment, towards
a more joyful ontological state of human existence in which
imagination, co-creation and a sense of agency are key elements of
the design approach. The framework presents an alternative
understanding of public spaces and public life, reflecting on
theory and its implications for practice in a post-pandemic world
in dense urban centres. A bridge between theory and practice, this
book explores possibilities on what future design ought to be when
openness and ambiguity are consciously integrated parts of practice
and process. The book presents a valuable discussion on public
space and play for academic audiences across a wide range of
disciplines such as landscape architecture, urban design, planning,
architecture and urban sociology, which is informative for future
practice.
