SCOOT is the result of Deb Polson’s doctoral study and represents a new theorisation of the role of games as potentially playing a specific role in people’s access to the culture of cities.  Overall, the carefully interlinked creative practice and the analytical component demonstrate that the potential to contribute to cultural production lies in the capacity of these gaming experiences to motivate enduring relationships between groups and urban spaces. Such enhancement occurs through interactive interventions in the digital and material, historic and fictional aspects of place.
