Seen and Heard: Reclaiming the Public Realm with Children and Young People

Many people have fond memories of spending time in their neighborhood park or town center, and for young people, these places can have a special importance. This recent report from the Demos organization looks at the everyday experiences of children in public through six case studies. The 67-page report contains three sections: "What's Next?", "Making the Case", and "Spaces, Stories, and Shaping Places". Drawing on detailed ethnographies and observation, the report looks at several different spaces used by young people in the United Kingdom. While offering a number of important suggestions for future directions, the report also notes, "We need a paradigm shift in the way we think about the built environment-one which addresses the deepening segregation between generations."
