Gaming-the-Real-World-1.jpgCan games change the world? Today public spaces and entire cities are being designed, planned, and played through the medium of games. The result of this “civic gamification” is that city architecture and urban planning is being democratized. Cities have become ground zero for digital innovation and the debate about how our cities evolve has suddenly gone viral.
