How to give children the freedom to play all across the city – not just in playgrounds Play should be promoted in cities to bolster children’s right to play anywhere.

As I was pulling together my #urbanplay feed, I spotted this #PlaySufficiency assessment from Glasgow - well worth a browse for ideas about documenting play and its place in a city:

With and without hashtags #urbanplay

Plus the hashtags #playstreets #playstreet #streetplay and #urbanplay

OK, after much tweaking, I think I've now set up a feed for all things #urbanplay - on streets, in neighbourhoods, in cities, on doorsteps etc. It's not perfect and I'll keep finessing it.

Key terms include play* street* urban* neighbo(u)rhood* city cities doorstep*
