This is a guest post by Alex Bonham. Alex is doing a PhD on the playful city at the University of Auckland in which she melds urban theory with play and performance theory. Her book Play and the City was published in July this year.
Cities bring people together and wherever there are people, there are pleasures. Paris means romance, Babylon, gardens that are a wonder of the world, Kyoto, the refined arts of geisha. But while cities bring pleasure, only some cities manage to be playful. Why is this?
