Abstract
"Territorial Capacity and Inclusion: Co-creating a Public Space with Teenagers" is a book that explores the involvement of teenagers in urban planning and the co-creation of public spaces. It highlights the importance of including teenagers in decision-making processes related to the built environment and emphasizes the benefits of their inclusion, such as more inclusive and sustainable cities. The book focuses on the Lisbon Living Lab project, which engages teenagers in the creation of inclusive public spaces through a multidisciplinary approach. It discusses the challenges and opportunities of involving teenagers in urban planning and provides valuable insights into how territorial capacity can be enhanced by their participation. The book also addresses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public spaces and teenagers' relationships with these spaces, emphasizing the need for inclusive and responsive urban environments. Overall, the book calls for collaboration, engagement, and co-creation to shape cities that reflect the dreams and needs of all, regardless of age. [Extracted from the article]
