Slowly, cities seem to be embracing skateboarding and its social value – rather than designing the activity out of the urban landscape. More skate parks are popping up, while some others are even getting historic status. Architects are designing features in to their buildings for skateboarders to use – and organisations around the world are harnessing the value of the activity to create health, social and educational benefits.
Where are your favourite skate parks, areas – or even bits of infrastructure – in cities? Do you think cities are becoming more skateboarding-friendly? Wherever you are in the world, share your photographs and stories with GuardianWitness, and we’ll feature a selection on Guardian Cities.
