Children & Outdoor Urban Spaces Planning

Abstract

This paper introduces the outcomes of an inquiry regarding the territorialized children’s spaces or areas. The systematized layout of a city or metropolis makes it unfeasible to allocate spaces for children, and that gives no alternatives to provide unauthorized areas which are used to meet the children’s requirements. Thus, the paper at hand is centered on public or metropolitan (urban) areas to point out the disproportion and contrast in society.This paper attempts to investigate the availability of public spaces that the children can easily use in housing districts. Several studies were examined to acquire information about the role of public spaces in the growth and improvement of children, public spaces availability, urban planning and its function, in addition to papers discussing friendly settings for children.
