City as Play

City as Play

2014

In September, 2014, Growing Up Boulder hosted James Rojas for a series of City as Play workshops and a lecture at the University of Colorado.  James pioneered the City as Play method to engage communities in the planning process in a more accessible way.  He developed a method of using common everyday objects to "scramble the brain" and unleash creativity.  His methods have been used in many places including James' home city of Los Angeles, Mexico, the Mississippi Delta, and now Boulder.  During his stay, he worked with classes from Whittier International Elementary School, Casey Middle School, and Boulder High School as well as with the city's transportation department.  Click here to view his lecture or visit the links below to learn more about his work:
