Vol. 10 No. 2 (2025)
We are pleased to present the second issue of our tenth volume of Architecture and Environment of Child (University of Batna). Published in English, French, and Arabic, the articles gathered here keep children’s well-being, learning, and belonging at the center of architectural and urban decision-making.
This issue spans built-environment education and festive pedagogy; stewardship of historic medinas; sensory and therapeutic settings for children with special needs; and the role of green and public spaces in supporting children’s health, including evidence related to attention and behavior in urban contexts. Several contributions are grounded in Algerian case studies while engaging wider Maghrebi and international debates, translating research into actionable insights for architects, planners, educators, and municipal leaders.
We thank our authors for their trust, our reviewers for rigorous and generous assessment, and our editorial team for their steady commitment to quality. We welcome future submissions on child-centred urbanism, inclusive heritage, therapeutic landscapes, nature-based solutions, schoolyard and playground design, and participatory or digital tools that amplify children’s voices in the making of place.
