Playgrounds fenced-off for younger children and sectioned-off sports areas for older ones are typical sights in the contemporary cityscape. However, increasingly, children are becoming involved in design processes and as a result gaining a valuable education on the effects of participation. Children are adventurous, inquisitive and above all, natural inventors. Instead of totally designed, pre-determined spaces, they love incomplete, open fields with all the opportunities of appropriation such spaces offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSensitive Urbanism\u201d takes such preferences seriously, realising that in order to learn from such spaces children must have the opportunity to work and play with them on their own. Their urban expertise should be given as much weight as that of estate agents, urban planners, homeowners and local authorities. Invited guest will be presenting models for Sensitive Urbanism \u2013 such as the project \u201cAlice Archive\u201d project by Urbanitas Berlin Barcelona \u2013 and will discuss how their implementation can contribute and develop the concept. It\u2019s time we paid some more attention to the urban perspectives of our youngest citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Register: berlin(at)urbanitas.eu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">As soon as it is designed specially for children, urban space is segmented into zones.
