Description
How do children's surroundings affect their health, behaviour, education and development? This book explores how our built environment impacts young people and what we can do to support them. It offers solutions for creating environments that foster environmental and social awareness and responsibility.
The author draws on experience designing schools and early childhood centres in the US and Britain to shed new light on this important issue. By examining the impact of buildings on people, the book provides valuable insights into one of today's most pressing concerns.
