Essay explores the urbanism of Team 10 and especially of Alison and Peter Smithson through their use of images of playing children in the CIAM 53 Urban Re-Identification Grille.
The essay puts forward the argument that the aim of post-war urbanism was to modulate the subjectivity of sections of the population which were deemed passive through practices that were experienced as pleasurable and free.
