The Importance of Play

I'm defining play as something that you do without a purpose...and I hope that not just children, but adults are spending a lot of time playing, too.

Play is a surprisingly simple way to help kids grow and thrive in terms of their physical health, their social capacity, their emotional health, their language development and their cognitive skills.

All spaces within a city should be playful and should encourage people to participate and should offer opportunities for engagement.

The way that kids play in nature is really essential to the way that their mind works.
