Designing Cities with Children and Young People

Beyond Playgrounds and Skate Parks

Herausgeber: Bishop, Kate; Corkery, Linda

Beschreibung

Designing Cities with Children and Young People focuses on promoting better outcomes in the built environment for children and young people in urban environments. This book aims to cultivate champions for children and young people among urban development professionals, to ensure their rights and needs are fully acknowledged and accommodated. The content moves from how we think about children in the built environment, what we have discovered through research, how we frame the task and legislate for it, and how we design for and with children.
