The Playgrounds and the City is the catalogue of an exhibition, “Ontwerpen voor kinderen, speelplaatsen door Aldo van Eyck”, held at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, 15 June– 8 September 2002. It is a definitive list of playgrounds created by Aldo van Eyck in Amsterdam between 1947 and 1978, along with maps of the city, colour reproductions of some of van Eyck's original sketches for his revolutionary play equipment (which quickly became adopted across the world), plans of key street layouts demonstrating how play areas could act as social gathering places, facsimiles of letters from tenement dwellers to the Department of Public Works, petitioning for play space, and photographs of children at play, enjoying the freedom of the city.
