Playful Cities Challenge: Build the Change
Reimagine cities with play!
We're inviting children to help inspire the playful cities of tomorrow!
Playful Cities
This Build the Change challenge, in partnership with design experts Arup, asks children to turn everyday things in cities into opportunities to play.
Hit play to learn more about the challenge, and upload your children’s ideas below.
Drawings, crafted constructions, and LEGO builds are all welcome!
Why?
Every child has the right to safe and healthy places to play, but the world isn’t always built with play in mind.
With 70% of the world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050, children should have a say in what more playful future cities look like.
We’re sharing some of the best submitted ideas with real city planners and decision makers.
