Games for designers & planners to value the local cultural economies that make streets work.
Games will be . . .- Immersive, require empathy and conversation- Challenging, not simplistic or romantic- Completable within limited or extensive timeframes- Explore specific planning questions- Multi-player, reward collaboration- Rich with media, statistics, and perspectives of traders- Offer post-game opportunities for analysis and sharing- Tested and iterated with planners and designers- Open source, replicable in other contexts
