“…Même si les centres commerciaux issus du Nouvel urbanisme ont l'apparence d'espaces publics favorables au rassemblement, il n'en demeure pas moins que ce sont des espaces « contrôlés », surveillés par les établissements privés qui s'y trouvent et par la police (Low 2000;Vivoni 2009;Flusty 2001). Même les parcs publics, où l'on pourrait aménager des aires plus intimes sont intentionnellement conçus pour que leurs moindres recoins soient visibles depuis une voiture de patrouille (Kitchen 2005;Mccormick 2006;Owens, 1997Owens, , 2002. Si les adolescents n'ont pas la possibilité de se rassembler ou d'utiliser les lieux publics, c'est qu'ils sont perçus comme des éléments négatifs (Kato, 2009;Owens, 1997Owens, , 2002.…”

La population d’adolescents habitant les milieux suburbains est très importante. Cette réalité est cependant encore trop récente pour être prise en compte par les praticiens de l’aménagement, ce qui expliquerait pourquoi l’environnement physique des adolescents est rarement conçu pour répondre à leurs besoins. Le présent article traite des besoins fondamentaux des adolescents vivant en banlieue et suggère aux concepteurs des moyens d’améliorer leur qualité de vie en créant des lieux de repli dans leur quartier. Les valeurs et besoins particuliers des adolescents serviront à évaluer la qualité des espaces ouverts suburbains. Nous nous intéresserons essentiellement à l’environnement physique, en nous appuyant sur des études dans les domaines de la psychologie, de la sociologie, de la psychologie de l’environnement ainsi que sur l’histoire des transformations urbaines et sur les théories et pratiques en architecture de paysage. Une étude de cas portant sur un projet inspiré du nouvel urbanisme servira de fondement critique et permettra l’examen des espaces ouverts à la lumière des critères issus de la littérature.The population of adolescents living in suburban environments over urban environments is pervasive and yet remains a relatively new construct for the design professions to consider—presenting a gap in how the physical environment is designed to meet their needs. This paper discusses the basic needs of suburban adolescents and suggests how designers can improve their quality of life by creating places of retreat within their neighborhood. Values and needs specific to suburban adolescents are used to assess the quality of suburban open spaces. The focus of this paper is on the physical environment, with background supported by studies from the fields of psychology, sociology, and environmental psychology, history of urban change, and theory and practice in landscape architecture. A case study of a New Urbanism development serves as the critical basis from which real open spaces are reviewed in light of criteria drawn from the literature

Big Data in the Big Easy: How Social Networks Can Improve the Place for Young People in Cities

Access to social data on human experience of place has never been more available than now. Social media, smart phones, and the Internet of Things provide glimpses into individual activity across the globe. The nearly-boundless stream of information is called "big data. " Today, physically and even socially disconnected individuals can benefit from the similar experiences of others to adapt and change their environment. I argue that big data provides two critical benefits for landscape architecture research and practice: (1) big data opens a window into previously inaccessible human experiences of designed environments, introducing new metrics for evidence-based design and new ways of improving design literacy; and (2) the design, planning, and management of the land-especially in cities-can benefit from scraping big data to support urban ecological design. My study of YouTube use in New Orleans shows that big data can advance landscape research to support positive, interdependent relationships between people and built environments. Landscape architecture would benefit by harnessing this resource to better understand relationships with place and encourage individuals to participate in the design, creation, and evolution of cities.

“…From a youth development perspective, "adolescent-friendly design" to places, such as, downtowns, parks, and schools, can be promoted to accommodate teens rather than discouraging them from idly hanging out [65]. These design decisions should allow for secure social interaction and should be incorporated with the broader community's design initiatives to allow for youth's interaction with other community members and to promote healthy adolescent development [65,66].…”

Impact of the Built Environment on Mental and Sexual Health: Policy Implications and Recommendations

2012

Research related to the intersection of the built environment and health has particularly flourished in the last decade. The authors highlight the theoretical and policy insights that have been made while also noting paucity in this literature as specifically related to mental and sexual health. Overall, the authors discuss policy implications of aspects of the built environment on both mental and sexual health behaviors and outcomes and suggest avenues for future research, program implementation, and policymaking for advancing health equity in these areas.
