Urbanistica Podcast - Cities for People 584. Why Architects Keep Failing at Designing Skateparks - Skateparknation Axel Lindquist
Skate Nation is a Swedish initiative that helps integrate newly arrived youth through skateboarding. By offering free boards, coaching, and a welcoming community, they turn skating into a universal language, breaking barriers of background and language.
In our talk, we explored how urban designers can create inclusive skateparks that invite everyone to participate and feel safe.
We also discussed Skate Nation’s collaboration with Nobel Week Lights in Tensta, where light, art, and skate culture met, transforming public space into a place for movement, connection, and creativity.
🎧 Note: The audio quality isn’t perfect, this episode was recorded right in the middle of a skatepark. We’ve used AI to reduce background noise.
