Abstract
In the last couple of years, there is a growing interest in the development of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in the Netherlands due to increasing segregation in Dutch cities. According to research done by the Dutch government, this growing segregation has a negative impact on the liveability of some neighbourhoods. In terms of possibilities in life, being born in a deprived neighbourhood has a detrimental effect on children's futures. The social and emotional health of a kid is impacted by the neighbourhood they grow up in. Besides that, we frequently tend to create cities and neighbourhoods from an adult perspective and neglect to include a child's perspective in the design of public spaces in neighbourhoods. Emphasizing the concept of ‘child-friendly neighbourhoods’ can be a valuable perspective to integrate the needs of children in their living environment to create inclusive, connected, safe, accessible, multi-functional, and liveable places for children. The main objective of this research is to gain an understanding of the factors that contribute to the development of place attachment and the sense of place of children living in the vulnerable neighbourhood Hoge Vucht.
