Why is it important?
The findings indicate that the implementation of changes to the school spaces and the neighbourhood environment could be more effectively achieved through the involvement of local stakeholders.
Perspectives
The existing urban schools’ spatial patterns are not optimal, and changes to the reconfiguration of the school environment should be planned based on the collaboration of relevant stakeholders and on the specific needs of users of school places.
