Abstract

Urban design and planning can contribute to the making of enjoyable civic environments. Urban places beloved by the citizens do not only exhibit visual comfort and convenient urban structure, but also provide a feeling of satisfaction and psychological rewards. In the article, urban places like the entertainment zones in the United States and playable places in South Korea are described. A sense of liking, desires for social activities, and immersive environments (mental involvement in urban environment) associated with play and participatory experience are discussed as part of the playable features embedded in cities.
