Description

This groundbreaking book is a piercing indictment of South Africa’s—and the Global South’s—failure to protect children through the built environment. It exposes how poor planning, crumbling infrastructure, weak professional accountability, and political inertia are not mere oversights, but moral failures with deadly consequences. From pit latrine drownings to preventable flood deaths, the book demands that built environment professionals, educators, and public officials confront their roles in shaping safe, dignified, child-centred spaces.
