Welcome to Children and the City!
This site is the result of a semester-long study of spaces made by and for children and teenagers in New York City.
The focus is on sites in Hamilton Heights in the Borough of Manhattan. Undergraduate and graduate students in Architecture, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture at the City College of New York are the authors and are responsible for field work, archival research, writing, photographic documentation, and mapping places in the physical city. They are also credited with the design and compilation of this website.

Each page [Children's Places, Appropriated Places, Maps] highlights important themes in the work and conversations that have taken place during the semester
