Urban environments (including built, natural, and social environments)
crucially impact children's physical and psychological health,
particularly in cities. Now children's mentality and safety, and the
freedom of travelling and playing have raised concerns in society. In
this issue, trans-disciplinary discussions between scholars and
practitioners in landscape architecture and environmental psychology,
environmental behaviours, human engineering, public health, etc., as
well as city managers, are encouraged to explore the ways to improve
urban environments for children's outdoor activities. With such a
multi-disciplinary coverage, this issue aims to update landscape
architects' theoretical and methodological approaches to issues of
children and urban environments, with a deeper understanding of their
disciplinary competences, limitations, and challenges thus to find out
their irreplaceable role in guaranteeing children's well-beings.
