The book addresses various topics that will be of interest to playable cities stakeholders, including the human–computer interaction and game designer communities, computer scientists researching sensor and actuator technology in public spaces, urban designers, and (hopefully) urban policymakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a follow-up to another book on \u003ci\u003ePlayable Cities\u003c\/i\u003e edited by Anton Nijholt and published in 2017 in the same book series, Gaming Media and Social Effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnton Nijholt studied mathematics and computer science at the Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands and received a Ph.D. in theoretical computer science from the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, in 1980.
