“It creates a positive atmosphere for good discussion and dialogue.”
“The complexity of the landscape is not constructed (so people come to realize how messy the urban fringe is), and yet it is an anonymous place which opens up for a more generous debate on general principles.”
“… an exercise that requires [players] to think from an interdisciplinary and less parochial perspective.”
