The lack of concern for considering children as active citizen
at a city planning level is seen in many countries but in this
thesis Bangalore has been chosen as a test bed to study the
following questions: Do children in a fast growing city have
a third place within their daily commute? How can the
streets that connect such different spaces be a safe route
for the children to use? What are the principles that are to
be used to make the urban spaces child friendly if not how
can such spaces me made? (Less)
