Designing Streets for Play

Kerala Taylor, of KaBOOM!, talks about the opportunities that can exist for play in urban planning and street design. Interesting article, but here’s the real money quote:

Play is a mindset. It shouldn’t be restricted to the playground; neither should it be restricted to children. Play is for everyone and can happen everywhere!

Very true; also very interesting to see this coming from the KaBOOM! organization – whose bread and butter comes almost exclusively from perpetuating the old traditional, prefabricated fixed-equipment playground model. That Kerala, though – she has always been quite the rebel… so who knows.
