Call for Submissions The Real Play City Challenge awards inspiring cities and urban practitioners that have successfully used placemaking to create environments that give people time, space and opportunities to play.

The aim of the Real Play City Challenge 2022 is to help cities overcome the most pressing global challenges through local playful placemaking, focusing on three urgent themes: - Places Where Play Heals People - Places Where Play Supports Climate Action - Places Where Play Unites Us All

- Cities - Urban practitioners

The Real Play Coalition is a pro-play, non-profit alliance formed in 2018 between ARUP, IKEA, the LEGO Foundation, National Geographic and UNICEF. Together, we are inspiring and connecting a movement of people and organisations that have the power to give 100 million children more access to play by 2030; all with the aim of nurturing a generation of happy, creative and resilient children. We want to build a world filled with more time, spaces and opportunities to play.
