Abstract
Teenagers are key users of public spaces in cities, however, they are often excluded from
public spaces and planning policies that frequently discourage and restrict their use of these
places. This study acknowledges that designing for teenagers has the potential to create
diverse and inclusive spaces for all ages where new social interactions are able to cultivate,
facilitating inclusive and cohesive urban environments. Therefore, it speculates on tactics for
creating the teenager-inclusive spaces, using the Hobart city centre as a case study. This
involves an in-depth investigation into existing research in order to propose urban strategies
of informal and temporary interventions that facilitate ‘active and productive’ engagement,
that assist in creating more inclusive cities for teenagers.
