Abstract

In Peru, since the first major waves of rural-urban migration in the 1930s, an informal and community-based “model” of urban expansion has dominated the country’s cities. This self-built style has resulted in an unstable, crude, and unfinished built environment that puts city dwellers, including children, at risk. This difficult reality has served as the backdrop and justification for a series of workshops for children on urbanism under the project name Urbanar[t]. The aim of the initiative is to introduce concepts of urbanism using a creative methodology, in which children identify the characteristics of their environment and learn to evaluate and take care of the city they live in.
