Amy Duong — December 27, 2024 — Art & Design
Open Urban Practice and ŞANALarc work together to create the City Making 101 card game. It is a role-playing and debate-centric experience by the Istanbul-based design firms. Players are to imagine design guidelines when building a conceptual city or a public space with prompts and urban components.
The team shares, "City Making 101 turns the challenge of urban design into a lively, creative adventure. Through role-playing and spirited debates, players dream up ideal environments, tackle real-world design problems, and craft creative yet practical solutions." It continues, "Whether you're gathering with colleagues, friends, or fellow city enthusiasts, City Making 101 offers a chance to bring bold ideas to life and spark real-world change – one card at a time."
