Urban Playgrounds: Athletes Claim Cities Around the World

Envision the city as an infinite playground

Created in collaboration with Red Bull, Urban Playgrounds explores some of the world’s most thrilling places for urban sports. From Venice, Barcelona and Los Angeles, to Brasilia, Istanbul, Cairo, Lagos, or Jakarta, this book reveals an exhilarating marriage between space and sports.

Born from a need to challenge boundaries, or a desire for self-expression and entertainment, urban sports reimagine the city as a playground. Be it freestyling on a skateboard, riding a BMX, or stretching the human body in parkour, urban athletes demonstrate the possibilities.
