Many poor urban children live in ru

Many poor urban children live in rundown inner cities, peripheral squatter communities or barren suburbs where their social, cultural and recreational needs receive little attention. In four Johannesburg neighborhoods, children described settings almost completely lacking in appealing possibilities. There were no recreational facilities, nor any safe places to play or see friends. Parks and empty lots were taken over by drunk, abusive adults and filled with refuse. Swimming pools were too far away and too expensive to use. Mobility was limited by heavy traffic, crumbling sidewalks and broken traffic lights. The bus service was patchy and unaffordable, and streets were so poorly lit that children were afraid to go out at night.(135) Aside from the lack of opportunity, children find the stigma of living in such rundown and marginal communities to be a serious issue. Far from taking their physical environments for granted, children are extremely sensitive to their surroundings, finding them a source of satisfaction but also a cause for humiliation and distress

Tiada kemudahan rekreasi yang disediakan, mahupun mana-mana tempat yang selamat untuk bermain atau melihat rakan-rakan.

Mobiliti terhad oleh lalu lintas berat, runtuh kaki lima dan lampu isyarat rosak. Perkhidmatan bas adalah setengah-setengah dan mahal, dan jalan-jalan supaya tidak terang bahawa anak-anak takut untuk keluar pada waktu malam.
