Children at Play


1973, the Department of the Environment.  The results of a survey into outdoor play on 15 local authority housing estates, all but one built during the 1960s.  Including Park Hill in Sheffield.



The text is fascinating and makes a good, dry, factual companion to Colin Ward's 'The Child in the City'.

Shocking fact: "architect designed" static concrete structures were not popular!

I ended up scanning pretty much the entire thing; I'll post more in due course.
