This book presents an interplay of imaginative memoir-telling,
action research data and future projection that reminds and
inspires experiences academics, researchers, professionals, as well
as a wider public to recognize the fundamental importance and the
impellent need for more and better work in favour of true political
and societal recognition of the needs and rights of children to
play freely, to participate, to live fully and enjoy their
neighbourhoods and cities, and to imagine and construct alternative
futures, together with adults. The book's abundant spoken dialogue
is, in effect, storytelling between children (and youth) on their
own and with adults (especially the elderly). It conveys an
appreciation of children’s special capacities to think critically
about their everyday places—and the greater world around
them—and to develop solutions (or ‘projects’) for the
problems they identify. This book serves an effective catalyst for
stimulating rich discussion of the theoretical and practical bases
of the many themes, or areas of study, which are treated in the
story.
