Following this, Adriana Valdez Young will then introduce her work and provide examples of “Playful Cities” exploring: What role play has in planning and activating our public spaces; and how prioritising play can build healthier communities and cities, especially as the world struggles with managing and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
