What this category recognises

Projects that involve children and young people in exploring how places, neighbourhoods or communities can change and develop.

This could include

Regeneration projects, new developments, improvements to existing places, neighbourhood renewal, masterplanning, community-led change or work exploring what could make a place better for the people who use it.

We're particularly interested in

How children's and young people's experiences, ideas and perspectives contributed to the project — and what was learned as a result.
