| Summary: | This edited volume brings together interdisciplinary perspectives particularly from design and planning fields to explore how children can be better integrated into urban life through inclusive, healthy and child-focused environments. Grounded in the principles of universal children's rights and Design for All, the book highlights innovative approaches in urban design, play environments and renaturing cities. It explores green spaces, nature schools and outdoor learning environments that support children’s psycho-pedagogical development, emphasizing the value of open spaces, creative play areas and inclusive planning for all age groups and abilities. The chapters collectively examine how urban design can foster belonging, emotional awareness and cognitive development while involving diverse stakeholders including academics, local governments, designers, educators and NGOs. This book is a valuable resource for professionals and scholars interested in child-friendly cities and inclusive urban futures. |
