Abstract

The childhood experienced by today's children is largely one that is controlled and administered from outside. Town and transport planning play a decisive role in this process. Even plans that call themselves 'child-friendly' often just create reservations for children instead of networks and facilities that give them freedom and independent mobility. The neglect of children's interests in town planning is harming their social development deeply.
