Urbanistica Podcast - Cities for People 507. The Power of Play and Creativity in a Chaotic World - Pernilla Glaser
I speak with Pernilla Glaser (educator, therapist, and coach), about why play is essential, not just for personal well-being but for shaping better cities and places.
We explore why playfulness and creativity are often undervalued in professional settings, how we can make urban planning processes more engaging, and what it takes to foster resilience in uncertain times. Pernilla also shares insights from her upcoming book on how play can help us navigate a chaotic world—if only we allow it.
Beyond the topic of play, we dive into her personal journey: what drives her, how she defines success, and the lessons she has learned along the way. We also discuss what advice she would give to students, urbanists, and designers striving to create more vibrant, creative, and adaptable environments.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about the power of play and why embracing creativity is more urgent than ever.
