Creating better cities with children and youth
a manual for participation
Driskell, D. (2002). Creating better cities with children and youth: a manual for participation. New York: Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group.
‘Creating Better Cities with Children and Youth’ is a practical manual on how to conceptualize, structure and facilitate the participation of young people in the community development process. It is a tool for urban planners, municipal officials, community development staff, non-governmental organizations and others who are involved in the community development process.
It offers inspiration to all who believe in the value of community education and empowerment as a fundamental building block of a vibrant and resilient civil society, and those who feel concern for young people and the quality of their lives.
The manual's core ideas and methods have been field-tested in a wide range of urban settings in both developing and industrialized cities through the work of the UNESCO Growing Up in Cities project. Case studies from project sites help to demonstrate the methods in action and show how they can be customized to meet local needs. They provide lessons and insights to help ensure a successful project, and highlight the universal applicability and value of young people's participation.
