Description

Children’s participation in the decision-making and design of urban public spaces is crucial for achieving inclusive cities. In this presentation Özlemnur will analyse national and local policy of Turkey to distill how children’s right to participate is legislated and institutionalized in this country. Children are an important yet neglected group in the pursuit of participatory urban planning and design nationally and locally. Discovering the roots of the problem, this analysis study supports legislation change leading to changes towards underestimation of children by introducing a specialized mechanism for children’s participation that embraces their individuality
