Games in Street, intangible cultural heritage for the regeneration, maintenance and care of spaces of collective use

"Playing", an inalienable right (ONU, 1989), has a central role in children's physical, social and intellectual growth. In wartime contexts, playing was welcomed in the residual spaces of the city, an expression of the creativity and social and cultural diversity of young actors. The design and implementation of the first playgrounds after the war aimed to provide responses to the severe psychological and social damage caused by the conflict. Today, the reuse of open spaces as playgrounds constitutes a regeneration strategy that has the potential to stimulate the community dimension of care on the basis of children's involvement and education for collective responsibility.
