Experiências urbanas na infância: uma análise comparativa do uso de praças no contexto do direito à cidade

Abstract

The present research seeks to understand the role of children in urban public spaces, highlighting the reduction of areas designated for them due to urbanization, increased traffic, and violence. The study examines how these limitations affect child development, considering the importance of urbanization that includes children as active participants in urban life. In this context, the involvement of children in the city and public squares in Aracaju is analyzed. Thus, the inclusion of children in urban planning is essential to creating more democratic and supportive cities, aligning with children's rights to a safe and stimulating environment, as established by international and national conventions and statutes. The study reflects a growing awareness of the importance of the right to the city for children and the adoption of urban practices centered on the exercise of citizenship during childhood.
