Designing Skateboard-friendly Cities - EP02
How can we design a skateboard-friendly city? Is there a template? What cities are ahead of the curve? What are the benefits? You don’t have to be a skateboarder to listen to this episode about Skateboard Urbanism. This is about skateboarding culture but it is also about design, public space, youth culture, citizen engagement, gender and the simple respect for the diversity of activities that our fellow urban citizens take part in. Interviews with Joel Martell - skateboarder - in Paris, James Thoem - urban planner - in Copenhagen and Gustav Svanborg Edén - the skateboard coordinator for the City of Malmö, Sweden.
