As outdoor play decreases and children spend more time online, Kinoshita and Terada return to John Dewey's proposal that social capital is essential for nurturing the next generation and establish a democratic and sustainable society. The book features examples from Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and Japan, exploring methods for cultivating social capital and spaces for children to play and develop in cooperative housing, outdoor play spaces, streets, parks, and neighbourhoods. We express our gratitude to Dr. Marketta Kytta, Professor of Aalto University, who gave valuable suggestions about the key term 'bullerby' and 'social capital'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of use to students and practitioners of urban planning and landscape architecture, as well as any community leaders or developers seeking to foster a nurturing environment where children can flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isami Kinoshita\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 103259781X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032597812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Isami Kinoshita","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807117725951,"sku":"9781032597812","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad0e0194-0e7a-456c-acdd-6f738a503353.jpg?v=1745378599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-capital-for-a-child-friendly-isami-kinoshita-9781032597812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
