Abstract	How can we transform places where people gather or wait into hubs for interaction and playful learning? Bus stops offer one setting in which to test this idea. Urban Thinkscape reimagines an everyday bus stop in an under-resourced area as an interaction zone instead of merely a place to wait for a ride. Results suggest that embedding playful learning into architectural design is associated with increases in targeted types of caregiver interaction and child language use. Compared to pre-installation data as well as data from a control site (a neighborhood playground), Urban Thinkscape suggests that we can build public spaces in ways that invite the kinds of interactions known to support later learning in language and STEM.
