Urban planning therefore has a significant impact on children’s upbringing and social advancement opportunities.
In socially disadvantaged neighborhoods, there is often an agglomeration of deficits in the design of outdoor spaces, which impair children's development and lead to exclusion from social participation. 

In "The Child's Gaze," director and dramaturge Eleonora Lela Herder and video artist Jos Diegel explored the topic of "the geography of childhood" from an artistic perspective. The focus was on the question of what opportunities children and young people have to participate and shape urban space.
This should involve a shift in perspective: for which assumed norm was the public space designed, and what viewpoints and perspectives arise for those not considered in this spatial design? What representational means make the child's view of the city tangible for adults?
