Roger A. Hart is Professor of Environmental Psychology and Earth and Environmental Sciences and directs the Children's Environments Research Group at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (www.cerg1.org). His research has focused on understanding the everyday lives of children and youth and the application of this to a critical engagement with environmental policy, planning and design. In recent years, Dr. Hart has been more broadly concerned with developing research and programs that recognize children and young people’s rights as citizens. To this end, he has collaborated in a number of countries with UNICEF and the Save the Children Alliance on research and programs related to children’s rights to be heard regarding their own development and the development of their communities. In his overseas work he has focused his attention particularly on Latin America. His publications include: La Participación de los Niños: de la participación simbólica a la Participación Autentica, Cities for Children: Children’s Rights, Poverty and Urban Management and La Participación del Niños en el Desarrollo Sostenible.
