This interview paper with Greg Mews explores the interconnected roles of street art, public space, play and urban design in fostering more lovable places in the context of cities in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Drawing from personal motivations that led to a focus on urban design and placemaking, Greg delves into the importance of play as a catalyst for enhancing the urban experience. Furthermore, the integration of street art within urban spaces is discussed as a means to encourage meaningful community engagement, creativity, and a sense of place. Through this multifaceted and nuanced approach, the interview highlights progressive strategies for urban designers to cultivate more vibrant, inclusive, and playful urban environments.
