Designing Cities with Children and Young People focuses on promoting better outcomes in the built environment for children and young people in cities across the world. This book presents the experience of practitioners and researchers who actively advocate for and participate with children and youth in planning and designing urban environments. It aims to cultivate champions for children and young people among urban development professionals, to ensure that their rights and needs are fully acknowledged and accommodated.With international and interdisciplinary contributors, this book sets out to build bridges and provide resources for policy makers, social planners, design practitioners and students. The content moves from how we conceptualize children in the built environment, what we have discovered through research, how we frame the task and legislate for it, and how we design for and with children. Designing Cities with Children and Young People ultimately aims to bring about change to planning and design policies and practice for the benefit of children and young people in cities everywhere.

In The Making of a Teenage Service Class, Ranita Ray uncovers the pernicious consequences of focusing on risk behaviors such as drug use, gangs, violence, and teen parenthood as the key to ameliorating poverty. Ray recounts the three years she spent with sixteen poor black and brown youth, documenting their struggles to balance school and work while keeping commitments to family, friends, and lovers. Hunger, homelessness, untreated illnesses, and long hours spent traveling between work, school, and home disrupted their dreams of upward mobility. While families, schools, nonprofit organizations, academics, and policy makers stress risk behaviors in their efforts to end the cycle of poverty, Ray argues that this strategy reinforces class and racial hierarchies and diverts resources that could better support marginalized youth's efforts to reach their educational and occupational goals.

"Nouvelle 'forme de criminalité' à Kinshasa, le phénomène 'kuluna' est au cœur des problèmes sociaux, politiques et économiques ainsi que des pratiques de leur gestion en République Démocratique du Congo. Face aux actes violents des jeunes regroupés en bandes, et à la forte expression populaire d'un sentiment d'insécurité, une opération policière 'spéciale' d'envergure a été menée en 2013: l'opération 'Likofi' (Coup de poing, en français). Cet ouvrage présente les résultats d'une recherche de terrain sur les significations de cette violence, pour ces jeunes, et de la réaction policière."--Page 4 of cover.
