Recife Childhood Squares Guide

This guidelines provides techniques and good practices to encourage the creation of squares for early childhood in the capital of Pernambuco, Recife.

This guide aims to promote and motivate actions aimed at the inclusion, safety, freedom, pride and visibility of children in Recife’s squares. It recognises the importance of these spaces for the city’s children indicating the possible structures and strategies needed for developing new spaces.

To be inclusive in architecture and planning is to think beyond of one’s own experience; it knowledge and the multiple experiences of society so that our our work is useful and beautiful.
