The Psychology of Urban Play: Designing Play Modules based on the effects Of Child/Parent relationships

Urban designers will benefit from a better understanding of the relationship between children and parents’ behavior when situating play areas in the urban environment. Thus, it is significant for designers to have research insights into developmental psychology of children and the safety and visibility psychology of parents when designing all scales of play areas – play modules, surfacing, siting, organization, and location in terms of typical urban conditions. This research results in an overall method as a proof of concept to explain how one can design play components, which could be applied in any city according to the psychology of child/parent’s behavior.
