Urban Playwork

Urban Playwork is an approach that emphasizes the importance of play in urban environments, especially for children. It focuses on creating accessible, engaging spaces where children can explore, take risks, and develop social skills through free play. Supporters of Urban Playwork advocate for designing cities to include play-friendly areas, such as parks and playgrounds, while also encouraging community involvement. This approach recognizes play as essential for healthy development, promoting creativity and resilience, and seeks to ensure that all children have opportunities for meaningful play experiences in their neighborhoods.
