The document discusses a proposed research topic on urban design for children in the Philippines. It notes that by 2030, 60% of people living in cities will be under 18, and over 90% of rapid urbanization will occur in Asia. However, statistics often hide the situation of the most vulnerable urban residents. The proposed research would focus on improving the urban environment for children based on the work of Anupama Nallari and the cities4children organization. The research aims to answer questions about urban growth drivers, the daily experiences of children, and how urban designers can create a better experience for children.

In my mind, the research topic I would like to pursue is urban design
catered to children in the Philippines. It is stated that in 2030, 60% of the
demographic who will be living in cities are 18 years and below (Save the Children). Furthermore, more than 90% of rapid urbanization will occur in Asia. However these stated facts only covers the urban area as a whole and it’s a generalization; this often hides the situation of those who are unreachable, poorest and most vulnerable residences. My research would be based from Anupama Nallari, she’s an Urban Advisor of cities4children organization. This research will serve as their voice to show other like-minded individuals that there is so much more to fix and improve in the Philippine’s urban environment.
The questions I intend for my conducted research to respond to are: “What
are the major components that cause urban growth?” “What do the children experience on a day-to-day basis?” “What can our urban designers do to make it a better experience to the children?”
