During her doctoral research, Ekim Tan realised that city games can inform urban development by turning the various stakeholders into players which actively influence their urban environment. A decade later, she runs the Amsterdam based city gaming company ‘Play the City', Tan has detailed her unique city gaming experiences worldwide and is looking ahead to the future. How have city games thus far contributed to our urban environments, and how will they continue to do so? During this book launch, we will discuss lessons learned and ideas for the future of urban gaming. After a Q&A session with Ekim Tan, three guest speakers will share their reflections with the audience.
