“…They can contribute to creating new perspectives on urban environments (Nordström, 2010) as well as to maintain urban neighbourhoods (Brown Rosier, 2009) with their capacity to observe and examine urban contexts (Nordström & Wales, 2019) from a different vantage point than adults. On the other hand, the potential capability approach in CA terminates the controversy of ‘becomings’ by its potential of recognition of children as actors in the combined capabilities (Golay & Malatesta, 2014). Zeiher (2009) defines this as the individuation of children through equal inclusion in society.…”

Children's participation in the decision-making and design of urban public spaces is crucial for achieving inclusive cities. International covenants have recognized the importance of participation as a right. Having adhered to these agreements, Turkey is obliged to enable children's participation in all public matters that concern them, including shaping urban spaces. This paper analyses national and local legislation in Turkey and Istanbul to distil how children's right to participate is legislated and institutionalised. It shows that lack of integrated child-responsive legislation, accounting for children's individuality, and lack of collaboration between national and local governments are the root of the problem.

“…To our knowledge there has been one attempt to apply the two theories together. Golay and Malatesta's (2014) research in children's councils in Lausanne explored the understanding of 'opportunities and barriers' in two different types of council in terms of three components of capabilities (opportunity, capacity and agency) together with the three modes of recognition.…”

This theoretical study explores the empowerment perspective regarding children with disabilities. Article 12 of the UNCRC states children’s right to express their views and be listened to. Meanwhile, studies show that children with disabilities are at risk of overprotection, which may restrict their participation and influence. Honneth’s theory of recognition and Sen’s Capability Approach are discussed together with the empowerment perspective when it comes to fulfilling article 12 regarding children with disabilities alongside empirical studies. Finally, a new model of dynamic empowerment is suggested to illuminate the interrelational complexity in this matter, as well as a way of identifying and understanding the possible mechanisms that may affect children with disabilities and their participation and influence.
