Abstract
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.
