Offered to the strongest citizens and to cars, whose traffic and parking devour public space, the city has gradually become uninhabitable, aggressive, even dangerous for the weakest, the elderly, the disabled and, above all, children, the bearers of the future. What if we reversed things? What if we gave the city back to pedestrians, to children's games, to meetings and exchanges between generations? The apparently utopian project of a "Children's City" presented here by Francesco Tonucci has already seen the light of day in several cities in Europe and Latin America. This book, which details the concrete modalities, proves its feasibility. Enough to fuel optimism in the debate, today very lively, on the place of the child-citizen in the city. In France, the "child-friendly city" network, created in 2002 and sponsored by UNICEF, is of interest to several cities that are beginning to experiment with good practices and innovations aimed at giving urban space back to children. In order to account for all aspects of his approach, the author has composed his work in three parts in which 1 — he establishes the context and the reasons which led him to develop the project "The City of Children; 2 — he presents the concrete means by which to organize the involvement of children in decision-making processes and to promote their autonomy in the city; and 3 — he describes the implementation of the project and the experiences lived in particular in the "pioneering" city of Fano, in Italy.
