Essential reading for those devising participatory methods in spatial design.

Rosie Parnell, Professor of Architecture, Northumbria University Playing, especially with objects, creates an inclusive, safe space for participants to be themselves, erase barriers, and collaborate not compete with each other. It raises their consciousness of the built environment to understand their attachment to place, realize they are their own experts, and why planning matters. James Rojas, Founder, Place It!
