Children are the forgotten ones of the city. Most urban planners, architects, educators, elected officials, and parents ignore children's rights (1959). The overwhelming majority of children are condemned to play in confined spaces called "playgrounds," sometimes escaping into wastelands and other vacant lots. Playgrounds are generally ugly and unsuitable. Daily routes between home and school are unsafe and dull. Where children find peace is most often at home, in front of their computer or tablet screen. Suffice to say, they live in a world they shape from their daydreams and desires. The conferences gathered in this book take stock of the situation and offer practical avenues from the perspective of children, what they are and feel, their needs, and their expectations.
