N2  - After the second world war, a major housing problem arose in the Netherlands and a popular 
way of responding to this shortage was to build large spacious neighbourhoods with a lot of 
urban highrise apartments. During the development of these so-called post-war urban
highrise neighbourhoods children?s needs and wants were hardly looked after. Children 
living in these neighbourhoods are facing many issues. Dutch municipalities are trying to 
revitalise these post-war neighbourhoods. This research provides an answer to the research 
question ?To what extent do spatial policies in post-war urban high-rise neighbourhoods 
support children?s wellbeing??, by studying the neighbourhood Kanaleneiland, located in the 
city of Utrecht. In Kanaleneiland qualitative interviews are conducted with policy makers, 
advisors and with involved citizens, parents and volunteers. Also a policy analysis of the 
environmental vision of Kanaleneiland, which is published in 2022, is done. The results 
showed that safety, greenspace, accessibility and integration are crucial factors for creating 
child-friendly environments. These factors are taken into account by policy makers for the 
revitalisation of Kanaleneiland. However there is a lack of coordination between the different 
factors, there is no holistic approach.
