Children's Health and Wellbeing in Urban Environments - Bog

How children experience, negotiate and connect with - or resist - their physical and social environment impacts their health and wellbeing. This book brings together different accounts and experiences of children's health and wellbeing in urban environments from majority and minority world perspectives. Privileging children's expertise, this timely collection explicitly explores the relationships between health, wellbeing and place. It draws on the expertise of geographers, educationists, anthropologists, psychologists, planners, nurses and social workers to unpack meanings of physical, social and symbolic environments that constrain or enable children's flourishing in urban spaces.
