It's not just children who want more nature time! In our @ParksforLondon research, 16-25yo (who visit nature <others) said time in nature should be part of their curricula. And childhood experiences w/#urbangreenspace influence their current nature habits. https://t.co/39nMhHpt8j

shocked, shocked to find that Olympics boosters' budgeting is unreliable

[Rhys☔ @GazeresRhys]

The costs of sporting mega events almost always surpass planned budgets - Costs are increasingly becoming a turn-off for hosts
What exactly does a 'focus on inclusivity' mean if countries continue to be unable and unwilling to host these events?

[Chris Lawton @ChrisMLawton77]

Graft, good vibes, multi-generational, multi-use and interdisciplinary. This programme shows the potential of spaces like #tramlinespot Sussex Street - essential in light of the current challenges facing a generation of younger people.

[Paul O'Connor @peejayohhsee]

“skateboarders and trees are unexpected allies in unstructured play and the disruption of urban order.” @DuncanMcDuieRa does it again... great article, an ethnography of searching for spots! https://t.co/jo499cOWS0

[Chris Lawton @ChrisMLawton77]

Resource available to Local Authorities for play spaces has fallen by £350 million over 11 years. Impacts have been particularly acute in the North & Midlands.
Play is critical for physical & social development in early years and throughout childhood
