Urban authorities and organizations are responsible for providing
the basic services that affect the lives of urban children. Cities
for Children is intended to help them understand and respond to the
rights and requirements of children and adolescents. It looks at
the responsibilities that authorities face, and discusses practical
measures for meeting their obligations in the context of limited
resources and multiple demands. While the book emphasizes the
challenges faced by local government, it also contains information
that would be useful to any groups working to make urban areas
better places for children. Cities for Children begins by
introducing the concept, history and content of children's rights
and the obligations they create for local authorities. The volume
then goes on to look at a variety of contentious issues such as
housing, community participation, working children, community
health, education and juvenile justice. The final section of the
book discusses the challenge of establishing systems of governance
that can promote the economic security, social justice and
environmental care essential for the realization of children's
rights. It follows through the practical implications for the
structure, policies and practices of local authorities. Written by
the top experts in the field of children's issues, and including a
resource section which lists publications and organizations that
can provide further information and support, this volume is a must
for all involved in planning for, and the protection of, children
within the urban environment.
