Abstract
This paper critically examines questions of inclusive design and planning to encourage children's spatial mobility in public spaces. This perspective is based on three interrelated premises: first, public space must be inclusive for children and youth, and their spatial mobility in civic events, activities and gatherings must be encouraged via planning and design. Second, an intergenerational perspective is indispensable to the task of rejuvenating lost public space for the young. Third, a participatory approach to the planning and design of the public realm is central to the creation of an inclusive environment. The paper identifies design attributes of public spaces that encourage children's mobility and emphasises the need for children's active participation in decision making.
