Description

This course will challenge students’ thinking about planning, designing and creating environments for children and young people. The course content will introduce students to the contemporary issues facing designers and planners, striving to meet the needs of children and young people in urban environments. It will also introduce them to relevant research which will assist their understanding of how to accommodate children and young people’s needs in specific settings such as neighbourhoods, schools, childcare environments, hospitals and youth centres. Students will demonstrate their understanding and enhance their professional practice through participating in a range of theoretical and practical workshops focused on anticipating the needs of children and young people and engaging with them.
