这篇文章强调了利用城市社区（甚至是有问题的社区）作为批判性学习和干预的场所对儿童发展的重要性。它描述了一个参与性的公共艺术项目，在马萨诸塞州的霍利奥克的低收入社区的年轻人进行。该项目为青少年提供了一个机会，通过探索性步行、调查、讨论和设计活动来批判性地评估和积极修改他们的社区，最终制作出丰富多彩的横幅。在一个更大的背景下，文章继续探讨如何帮助年轻人在他们的城市生活中占据更中心的位置，并开始影响环境变化。它审查了这些努力的障碍，并考虑如何在规划和设计专业可能有助于支持这些努力。
This article underscores the importance to childrens' development of utilizing urban neighborhoods-even problematic ones—as arenas for critical learning and intervention. It describes one participatory public art project undertaken with young people in a low income neighborhood in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The project provided teens with an opportunity to critically assess and positively revision their neighborhood through exploratory walks, surveys, discussions, and design activities that culminated in the production of colorful banners. In a larger context, the article goes on to explore methods to help young people claim a more central place in the life of their cities and begin to effect environmental change. It examines obstacles to such endeavors and considers how those in the planning and design professions might help support such efforts.
