Description
Summary:The environment in which children grows up plays a crucial role in their development. While urban areas offer better educational facilities, extracurricular activities, and diverse experiences, rapid urbanization poses unforeseen challenges such as pollution, traffic, and loss of natural habitats. Adopting a child-friendly approach can redirect and alter the course of development in urban settlements. Solutions that benefit all stakeholders can be implemented by prioritizing the most vulnerable stakeholders. This paper is a systematic review of research literature that explores the relationship between the well-being of children, inhabitants and child-friendly approaches in the context of urban space. It also brings the children's perspective and their experiences into focus to understand the perception and reality of risks in urban childhood spaces.
