play/ground

I am following this with interest -- hearing the concerns about class here . . .  city as appropriated, as providing special experiences, as needing to entice people in, to support commerce, jobs -- almost as infantilizing suburban visitors, too . . . but instead of broadening by moving to scenes of work and family and community in addition to play, what about broadening perception of play so that it encompasses work and family and community -- play of everyday?  So -- rather than places of play, exclusively, it's also rhythms or dances of play that move through a wide range of spaces.  ALSO, what about the city playing with/on/for/in people not within its borders . . .
