Berlin is known for many things, but playgrounds are not one of them. Which is weird because they’re amazing. They might not fit the poor but sexy image of Berlin’s never-ending nightlife, but the playgrounds here are some of the most creative and challenging around. And there are a lot of them.
For the last 50 years Berlin has nurtured playground design and innovation, while many parts of the world retreated to boring plastic slides and rubber ground.
In this episode we explore the complex relationship between city planning, political movements, creative risk taking, legal systems and the history of the playground itself. And discuss the importance of these often overlooked spaces.
