  • The fun theory
    An inter­est­ing site (thanks Iskan­der), very much relat­ed to my ideas on using urban games to cre­ate pos­i­tive effects in pub­lic space. The tagline though, is mis­lead­ing: “some­thing as sim­ple as fun is the eas­i­est way to change people’s behav­iour for the bet­ter”. Beyond gim­micks, fun is nei­ther a sim­ple con­cept to under­stand, nor a sim­ple expe­ri­ence to bring about.
