Rationale
“The needs of children and youth, particularly with regard to their
living environment, have to be taken fully into account. Special attention
needs to be paid to the participatory processes dealing with the shaping
of cities, towns and neighbourhoods; this is in order to secure the living
condition of children and youth and to make use of their insight, creativity
and thoughts on the environment.” Opening preamble to the Habitat
Agenda, Second UN Conference on Human Settlements, UNCHS 1997. UN Centre
