Fun is an essential and integral part of our design philosophy. Our aspiration is to infuse public spaces with elements of playfulness and fun, transforming the city into a visually captivating and inviting environment. By incorporating a diverse range of playful features, we always aim to create lasting impressions that shape people’s perception and attachment to their community, fostering a deep sense of pride and belonging. The unfolding story of #fun demonstrates how an urban city can thrive by embracing vibrancy, facilitating social interaction, promoting inclusivity, and contributing to the creation of dynamic and livable communities through the integration of fun.

Everyone has the freedom to explore, experiment, and create their own rules and narratives in public spaces. For instance, through interacting with and exploring natural elements like trees, rocks, water, and sand, traditional play equipment or structured activities become unnecessary. This vibrancy brings forth a creative atmosphere that enriches city life.

  • Can we enable playful activities even in irregular playing spaces?
  • Can urban design foster a playing experience that caters to all ages in urban spaces?
  • Can the cultivation of a vibrant and creative city contribute to the development of a robust community spirit?

We hope to explore more.

There are public datasets for public play spaces under the administration of Leisure and Cultural Services Department. However, the perception of fun and creativity in urban spaces can vary among individuals. Conducting a comprehensive assessment of the level of fun and creativity in urban environments requires the collective participation and input of the entire city’s dwellers.
We hope the initiative can move the discussion forward.
