Is 'Citizen Kid' an Independent Kid? The Relationship between Children's Independent Mobility and Active Citizenship
Children want to engage with their city and have freedom to explore and learn. CATCH (Children, Active Travel, Connectedness and Health) is a three-year research project investigating local environment influences on children's independent mobility, social connectedness and health in four Australian cities. In this project, 'active citizenship' as well as children's ability to articulate local environmental preferences through photo collages correlated with higher levels of independent mobility. Taking a social constructivist perspective, these results are analyzed to explain how children's active citizenship might be grounded in experiences of local neighbourhood and what this might mean for children and cities.
