The Urban Conga is an award-winning Brooklyn, NY-based multidisciplinary design studio focused on sparking community interaction and social activity through open-ended play. Their work explores the idea of creating more playable cities as an ecosystem of inclusive multiscale playable opportunities intertwined within our existing urban fabric. Investigating new ways to transform often once overlooked or underutilized situations into stimulating creative outlets that bridge divides and begin to break inequities by bringing people together through moments of play.

Through this work, they have had the opportunities to collaborate with communities, NGO’s, businesses, municipal agencies, and institutions worldwide, delivering multi-scaled urban interventions, playable products, workshops, lectures, development plans, and public policy recommendations.
