Observations on caregiver use of public spaces from Pune (India) and Istanbul (Turkey) share spatial knowledge from a research initiative done in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and the Eindhoven University of Technology. Using observation as the primary tool, researchers explored how young children and their caregivers make use of public spaces in disadvantaged locations for everyday uses.
Part of the Supporting urban childhoods research initiative, this illustrated novel tells the story of a common trip of a family who live in Pune, the “Kumars”. The route and the struggles they encounter told in the this story are real.
