Abstract

This article investigates from a gender perspective the places preferred and used by 161 nine-to-twelve year-old children living in inner- and outer-city high-rise mass housing built in the context of squatter housing regeneration. Data were obtained from a participatory photography study in Ankara, Turkey. Results show the differences in the way boys and girls experience their environments in various locations of the city.
