Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Children are an important group that needs to be paid close attention to in society and families. However, the built environment is closely related to child growth as well. The child-friendly built environment can focus on different levels such as regions, cities, communities, and independent spaces from the spatial scale to study the construction and evaluation of space systems in child-friendly cities, child-friendly communities, child-friendly streets, and so on. From the design goals, it can center on the concepts of safety, health, interaction, etc. Moreover, pay attention to the spatial characteristics and influencing mechanisms of children's public activity spaces, street spaces, game spaces, and so on. For the research methods, tools such as big data, human factors experiments, and new technology measurement can be used to quantify the design indicators and thresholds of openness, rate of change, and visual richness of spatial form. Finally, a child-friendly built environment requires extensive exploration of design, optimization, and research precedent by planners, architects, and landscape architects to create a better future for children.
