I’m levelling up! For anyone who doesn’t want to buy my book The City Game on Amazon and happens to be in Warsaw. Starting this Friday, it will be available in the Inbook.pl Nike Bookstore at Puławska 11. At least until the end of the year. And at a better price than on Amazon!
I wrote “The City Game” for children, but from the reviews on Amazon I can see that adults appreciate it too 🙂
Last Saturday (August 30), I had the pleasure of speaking on the national Polish TV – TVP3 morning show “Dobry Dzień” (“Good Day”) about my book “The City Game,” how children perceive urban space, and why it’s so important to support them as they take their first steps toward independence in the city.
Another great news! My project has been selected for funding under the open call for cascading grants by the NEBA Alliance.
It all started eight years ago with my daughter, when I decided to find out why she didn’t want to go to school on her own. We examined the city’s infrastructure — we walked, took trams, buses, and rode bikes. We talked, and she took photos of what she saw from her own height.
During the gala “Designed Humanely: Happy Neighborhoods,” the cityforchildren.pl project won in the “Initiative – Action” category, receiving the Readers’ Choice Award.
I’m honored that I could contribute my knowledge to the article by Natalia Olszewska and Łukasz Krupiński, “From Neuroscience to Design: Creating Spaces that Nurture Childhood Learning,” published in Conscious Cities Journal No. 7, and that I was quoted among experts working in this field.
It’s here. For now it is available in paperback (PL & ENG) and EPUB in English. Soon there will be Polish EPUB, PDF and hardcover.
Magic happens when you least expect it.
That’s what I thought on the last day of Urban Future 2025, as I was leaving a morning workshop at a primary school in Łódź — where we presented the LEGO® Education solution — and heading to lead my own session, “Little Feet, Big City: How Children Navigate the Urban Jungle.”
