Designed Living Environments for Breakfast – SITES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

SITES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Urban planner and site developer Mustafa Sherif discusses the importance of including children and young people in urban development and design processes. He points out that around 23% of the world’s population are children and young people under the age of 19 (Source: Statistics Sweden) and that research shows that urban environments are crucial for their physical and mental health. Despite this, children are an often overlooked target group in urban development.

Mustafa Sherif shares examples of how to include children and young people in these processes, both in Sweden and internationally.

In the conversation series Designed Living Environments for Breakfast we meet architects, artists, cilvil servants, politicians and researchers to get a unique insight into new strategies and working methods on how different aspects of designed living environment can impact and contribute to improve conditions in our society. The webinars are held once a month during spring and fall and take place on Thursdays between 08.30-09.30. You connect through the digital plattform Teams with a link posted in calendar events in connection with the events, no pre-registration is requested.

The conversation series is organized in a collaboration between Region Uppsala, Region Halland, Region Blekinge, Region Jämtland Härjedalen and Region Västmanland.
