这篇文章提出，居住在贫民窟的儿童是促进城市规划者和艺术家之间建设性对话的重要推动者，其最终目标是创造更进步的城市空间。这个概念的灵感来自Urban95运动，它提出了一个问题，如果他们从95厘米的高度体验城市，他们会对城市产生什么样的变化。我把这个灵感带到了菲律宾贫民窟儿童的经历中。这件作品展示了在城市不正规环境中长大的儿童如何提出艺术家和规划师可以借鉴的某些观点。反过来，艺术家和规划者可以共同努力，为贫民窟儿童寻找艺术表现的机会。重点不是要浪漫化或宽恕贫民窟的生活。相反，这是为了激发城市非正式的艺术倡议，并通过让贫民窟儿童与艺术家和规划者对话，使这些空间被承认为城市结构的一部分。这三位一体既暴露了城市规划中被忽视的现实，也暴露了独特的方法。儿童独特的视角提供了另一种思考、行动和呈现城市化的方式，从而打破了想象城市的特权和主导形式。艺术家可以促进这一创造性的过程，而规划者可以将儿童的想象力转化为可操作的结果。这种合作促进了社区所有权意识和对回收城市空间的自豪感，并打破了人们看待城市的习惯。
This piece puts forward that slum-dwelling children serve as crucial facilitators in fostering constructive dialogue between urban planners and artists, with the ultimate goal of generating more progressive urban spaces. This concept draws inspiration from the Urban95 movement, which poses the question of what changes one would make to the city if they were to experience it from a height of 95cm. I took this inspiration to the experiences of slum-dwelling children in the Philippines.This work presents how children who grew up in urban informalities can present certain perspectives which artists and planners can learn from. In turn, artists and planners can work together to look for opportunities of artistic expression for slum-dwelling children. The point is not to romanticise or condone slum life. On the contrary, this is to inspire artistic initiatives in urban informalities and to make these spaces recognised as part of the urban fabric by putting slum-dwelling children into dialogue with artists and planners. This triad exposes both overlooked realities and unique approaches in urban planning. Children’s unique perspectives offer alternative ways of thinking, doing, and rendering urbanism thereby disrupting the privileges and dominant forms of envisioning cities. Artists can facilitate this creative process while planners can translate children’s imaginations into actionable outcomes. This collaboration fosters a sense of community ownership and pride in reclaiming urban spaces and unsettling the habits of seeing the city.
