245: What if cities were built for play?
In this episode, I’m joined by Christian Nørgaard, Project Director at Kirkbi — the company behind LEGO — to explore how Travbyen, a new neighborhood in Billund, redefines city-making through play, imagination, and community.
We discuss how design can make everyday life more creative and connected:
Why play can be a serious tool in urban design
How Travbyen makes cars guests, not owners, of the street
What “playful tension” means in architecture
Why open-source sustainability could change the industry
“Please walk on the grass.”

Could a city built for play be a better place to live?
