Creating Child Friendly Cities - New Perspectives and Prospects (Hardcover)

"Creating Child Friendly Cities" seeks to assess the extent to which the physical and social make up of Western cities accommodates and nourishes the needs of children and youth. Examining the areas of planning, design, social policy, transport, housing, it outlines strengths and deficiencies in the processes that govern urban development and change from the perspective of children and youth.
The Book examines a diverse range of issues including children's view of the city and why this is unique; how to work with kids to create better cities; the consequences of Children's health and how this is shaped by the make up of cities; the "obesity epidemic": is it caused by cities?; the journey to school, and children's transport needs generally and many more.
In the final chapter the editors look at development from a child usage perspective' and put together an agenda for action, in order to provide cities with places for children to play.
