1975

As the project on “Children’s Perception of the Environment” was originally conceived by Lynch, it was intended to move from research on children’s use and evaluation of their environments to children’s participation in planning, designing and implementing improvements in their communities. Lynch was particularly interested in Third World areas undergoing rapid change, and for a while a site in Tunis was under discussion. New staff in the UNESCO office in Paris, however, had other interests, and Lynch himself turned his attention to other endeavors, so that there was no further development of the project.
