Unesco Creating Better Cities With

By David Driskell

This practical manual is based on the findings of the "Growing Up in Cities" project developed by UNESCO in a wide range of urban settings in industrialised and developing countries. It contains ideas for engaging young people with their local environment and facilitating their participation in the community development process. Case studies from project sites help to demonstrate the methods in action and show how they can be adapted to meet local needs. The publication provides a useful tool for urban planners, municipal officials, youth workers, non-governmental organisations, educators and others who believe in the value of community education and empowerment as a fundamental building block of a vibrant and resilient civil society.
