Play

What if all of the attractions currently featured in the sprawling footprint of Disney World were compacted into sky-high towers? That’s essentially the idea of Ju-Hyun Kim’s eco-friendly urban theme park, which would not only pack rides, roller coasters and exhibits into skyscrapers, but equip the structures with technology to harvest rainwater, collect solar energy and recycle waste.

A LightCity is a city designed for a leisure society, a society where people do only what they enjoy doing thanks to a high level of technology.

Philosophers and scientists all agree. Life is to be enjoyed. We are here to have fun. When we play, when we have fun, our metabolism reaches its optimum. Our immune system is strengthened, our mood is elevated. We feel good and happy.

Playing is the activity all children choose when they are left free. And it would also be the activity adults would choose too if they were given the time and the choice. In our industrious society, the adult entertainment industry is almost non-existent. Much is to be invented to stimulate the brain and the senses and make life more fun and pleasurable. As playing will become the main activity, we can expect the LightCities to develop an entertainment industry that could attract visitors and provide the city with currencies necessary to trade with the outside world.

The whole city could be just like a fun park for all ages.
