Book Description
More than half of all children in industrialised countries live in urban areas, and the same will be true in the developing world in the near future. Yet, by almost all indicators, cities are failing to meet the needs of young people, prejudicing their chances as adults. Written by a team of experts from the fields of urban planning, architecture, geography, anthropology, psychology and environmental education, this book analyses the results of a UNESCO project which looks at the effects on young people of their urban surroundings, based on case studies from eight countries (including Australia, India, South Africa, the UK and the USA). This study places a new emphasis on the active participation of young people in the planning, design and implementation of urban improvements, and recommends policies and practices that will make cities more responsive to the needs of children, adolescents and their families.
