urban childhood, landscape, sustainabilityAbstract
More recently, an emerging global child-friendly cities movement shifted the focus onto children’s right and participation. While this movement’s values were and are beyond approach, it has had very little influence on the built form of cities. The research question in this paper is what a sustainable, successful, healthy city looks like. Hence, the objectives are (1) to describe and identify the different critical terminologies of the urban landscape and its inter-relation with sustainability and (2) to illustrate the landscape architectural forms and spaces through visualization and expression of space in the way of presentation.
Keywords: urban childhood; landscape; sustainability
