Naturalised parks benefit children’s physical and mental health by encouraging more imaginative and autonomous play. Aimed at municipal managers, educators and environmental activists, Parques Naturalizados: Como criar e cuidar de paisagens naturais para o brincar (Naturalised parks: How to create and care for natural landscapes to play) contains practical tips, inspiration, tools and resources based on the experiences of the Alana Institute in supporting cities across Brazil to create naturalised parks, in partnership with the Bernard van Leer Foundation’s Urban95 programme.
