| URBAN GOVERNANCE
WITH AND FOR CHILDREN
|
 |
|
In recent years CERG has been increasingly involved
in urban governance issues as they pertain to children,
both in the USA and internationally.Some of these
initiatives are focused on involving children more
directly in local planning and decision making processes;
others focus more broadly on the role of local government
with regard to children

International Efforts

|
| In collaboration with colleague
David Satterthwaite at the International Institute for
Environment and Development, Sheridan Bartlett was involved
in the production of the UNICEF Innocenti Digest, Poverty
and Exclusion among Urban Children. (IIED)
|
| Currently, working with
Save the Children Sweden and the UNICEF Child Friendly
Cities Secretariat in Florence, and funded by the Swedish
aid agency SIDA, Sheridan Bartlett is working with researchers
in various parts of the world collecting case studies
that provide insights into the process of urban management
and governance as it pertains to children’s priorities
and concerns. This work focuses in particular on the
physical environments of urban children.
These case studies will be published as part of a
special issue of Children, Youth and Environment on
Children and Governance.
