Urban Play
Play the city. Understand the city.
How do you learn urban planning?
With an urban planning card game, 48 cards, real density values, and the realization that every site coverage ratio has two sides.
Explore playing cards →Site Coverage Ratio (GRZ) of 0.8 beats 0.4? It depends. A high GRZ means more ground coverage: This can support short distances and urbanity – but also put pressure on open space and climate adaptation. URBAN PLAY makes exactly these trade-offs playable.
Instead of just "right" and "wrong," URBAN PLAY trains a differentiated approach to urban building blocks – the foundation for understanding and co-designing the complex puzzle of compact, mixed-use cities.
Please note: The card game and instructions are currently available in German only.
