If children are transferred from a lively city street In real life, what significant change does occur if children are transferred from a lively city street to the usual park or to the usual public or project playground? In most cases (not all, fortunately), the most significant change is this: The children have moved from under the eyes of a high numerical ratio of adults, into a place where the ratio of adults is low or even nil. To think this represents an improvement in city child rearing is pure daydreaming. Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities The ground plane childhoodadolescence
