Dr Debbie Watson and her colleagues from Bristol will present the work that has been under way with grassroots organisations in Bristol to achieve UNICEF recognition as a ‘child friendly city‘. The organisations involved (Architecture Centre, Playing Out and Room13 Hareclive) will also present.

Researchers from CASCADE will also present some of their research and their interest in the use of public space in the city in the context of public service cuts
