<p><em>"In less than a year, skateboarding will make its debut in the Olympic Games in Tokyo. It’s an international sport with <a href="https://theconversation.com/skateboarding-defies-the-neoliberal-logic-of-the-city-by-making-it-a-playground-for-all-110552">an estimated 50 million participants</a>—but, more than that, skateboarding’s DIY ethos and strong ties with art, music, and the built environment make it an unlikely asset for cities.</em></p>

<p><em>In the past, skateboarding was seen as an antisocial activity: <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/street-skaters-may-find-their-latest-moves-land-them-in-court-but-they-are-fighting-back-10432783.html">a swath of by-laws</a> imposed restrictions in cities across the U.K.—including in my own city of Nottingham, where it was banned in 2000. But today, a growing body of evidence shows that skateboarding can help attract investment, reclaim public spaces and create resilient communities."</em></p></div>
