CHILDREN IN URBAN REGENERATION: FOUNDATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE PARTICIPATION
S. Speak
Community Development Journal, vol.35, 2000, p.31-40
Paper aims to discuss the ability of children to be involved in community regeneration work.

Many barriers to adult participation may have been avoided if they had been encouraged to be fully involved as children.
