Welcome to Playful Learning Landscapes Action Network on ChangeX! It’s time to reimagine how the ordinary can become extraordinary. Imagine a supermarket that doubles as a children’s museum, a bus stop outfitted with puzzle walls and cognitive games, or a human-sized board game where children intuitively solve math problems.

The Idea
Urban Thinkscape is an initiative of Playful Learning Landscapes Action Network (PLLAN), whose work lies at the intersection of the Conscious Cities urban planning movement and the movement to optimize early education in and out of schools.

"Our community was looking at how to help children build their math, literacy and science, then how do we tie these pieces together to help them with their education?

- Bettye Ferguson, President / CEO of Belmont Alliance Civic Association PA
