| Event Description |
This event focuses on the development of the forthcoming book, "The Place of Children" (co-sponsored by UN-HABITAT) and is open to those with skills, expertise or contacts to contribute to further conceptualization and implementation of this worldwide project. We will discuss the selection of cases and other methodological aspects, strategies for developing chapters around specific children's stories, and ideas and messages, which should be included in the book. "The Place of Children" will show how young people living in poverty are helping to achieve the MDGs by working to improve their communities. It will, also, review policies and programs supporting young people's engagement in local approaches to urban sustainability.

Organization Description |
The Children, Youth and Environments Center for Research and Design (CYE) envisions a world in which young people enjoy good health and grow up in safe environments that support their development into young adults in sustainable and inclusive communities. CYE works with the planning and design professions and allied disciplines to contribute to the health, safety and welfare of children and youth. The Center undertakes interdisciplinary activities that connect research and teaching to policy and practice, while recognizing young people’s capacity for meaningful participation in the processes that shape their lives. It focuses in particular on children and youth in environments of disadvantage and those with special needs. |
