How does the built environment affect children - their health,
their behaviour, education and development? To support them, what
do we need to consider and what do we need to do? Can our
surroundings foster environmental and social awareness and
responsibility? Based on Christopher Day's experiences designing
schools and early childhood centres in the United States and
Britain, this groundbreaking book sets out to answer these
questions and to offer solutions. Children all too often find
themselves living in alien surroundings designed with the needs of
adults in mind, cut off not just from the natural environment but
also childhood itself. Society's reaction - to cocoon children from
the outside world or to resort to drugs to control behaviour -
fails to address the fundamental causes of problems which lie in
the environment not the children themselves. One of the world's
leading thinkers on the impact of buildings on people, Christopher
Day's insights offer new light on one of the most important issues
for today's society.
