About this product

Product Information

Half the world's children live in cities and the proportion is growing. Their environment critically determines their futures and the world they will make as adults. This text, by an interdisciplinary team of international child-environment authorities, explores how crucial the relationship of the young and their surroundings is. Covering eight countries, it shows the enormous benefits - for them, for the wider society and for the future - of involving children, especially from underprivileged communities, in planning and implementing urban improvements. It continues and updates Kevin Leech's pioneering 1970s MIT project, Growing Up in Cities.

Reviews
"these projects form a list of child-generated indicators of a good place in which to grow up. Or, as Kevin Lynch concluded, a city at its best promotes vitality, embodies sense, offers fit, gives access to many activities, and allows control. And all of these dimension are provided with efficiency and justice." -- Future Survey "(This book) is written in an accessible style and it will appeal to a wide audience. It is particularly successful in its incorporation of appropriate theories (of childhood, of community, of participation) within each narrative in an unobtrusive but effective way. This device adds rigor to the case-study evaluation. If it has one overarching message it is that children are very much aware of the larger socio-political context and that their social identities are inextricably bound up with hierarchies, domination and power. The book provides a wealth of material: each chapter is able to stand alone as a valuable source of analysis of good practice, but the editor has been very successful in ensuring that the common themes and stylistic devices give the collection a coherence and identity. It is amply illustrated with good photographs, graphs and statistical information, as well as accessible summaries and snapshot of good practice...It is an important contribution to the body of knowledge on young people and their active participation in community planning. It is an excellent resource for policy makers and practitioners alike and has equal value for all researchers/professionals involved in wider programs for developing urban environments." -- International Development Planning Review, 'An excellent resource for policy makers and practitioners alike.'International Development Planning Review
