What if cities were built for play?


This week, I’m joined by Christian Nørgaard, Project Director at Kirkbi — the company behind LEGO — to explore how Travbyen, a new neighborhood in Billund, redefines city-making through play, imagination, and community.


We discuss how design can make everyday life more creative and connected:

✅ Why play can be a serious tool in urban design

✅ How Travbyen makes cars guests, not owners, of the street

✅ What “playful tension” means in architecture

✅ Why open-source sustainability could change the industry


“Please walk on the grass.”


Reading recommendation: Playful Tension (Design School Kolding).

Could a city built for play be a better place to live?
