About Yspace
Yspace was born out of recognition that few mechanisms exist to respond to the critical issue of how young people's needs can be better reflected in the design and management of public and community accessed space.
Yspace seeks to provide a space for researchers, young people, various levels of government, planners, and youth services to access information, insights and resources pertaining to youth and public space. In doing so, Yspace strives to promote the development of youth inclusive policy in the design and management of public spaces.
The Yspace network aims to:
- Share ideas and strategies for responding to conflicts arising from the design and management of public space, with a view to young people being acknowledged and valued as members of communities and as citizens with legitimate rights and interests.
- Promote a recognition that public and community accessed space form key sites for young people's participation in social, cultural and economic life, and as such, design, planning and management should recognise this.
- Encourage the development of inclusive and youth friendly policies and practices.
Yspace is hosted by the Social Work and Human Services, Faculty of Health, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. For more information about Yspace, please email the Yspace Co-ordinator at yspace@qut.edu.au.
