In our fast-changing urban world, the impacts of social and
environmental change on children are often overlooked. Children and
their Urban Environment examines these impacts in detail, looking
at the key activities, spaces and experiences children have and how
these can be managed to ensure that children benefit from change.
The authors highlight the importance of planners, architects and
housing professionals in creating positive environments for
children and involving them in the planning process. They argue
that children's lives are becoming simultaneously both richer and
more deprived, and that, despite apparently increasing wealth,
disparities between children are increasing further. Each chapter
includes international examples of good practice and policy
innovations for redressing the balance in favour of child
supportive environments. The book seeks to embrace childhood as a
time of freedom, social engagement and environmental adventure and
to encourage creation of environments that better meet the needs of
children. The authors argue that in doing so, we will build more
sustainable neighbourhoods, cities and societies for the future.
