Participation of Children and Young People in Play Space Planning

Child participation is the central starting point of the planning process. It defines needs, wishes, and key usage priorities, forming the conceptual framework. High-quality play space planning begins with the systematic involvement of children and young people. Their perspectives, needs, and usage priorities establish both the professional and conceptual foundation. Participation is more than just a methodological component—it is essential for creating needs-based, widely accepted, and sustainable play spaces.
