Focusing on the experiences of teenagers, this ethnography explores how environments like schools and social spaces affect their development. Herb Childress reveals that many built landscapes limit opportunities for engagement and growth, fostering passivity instead. Through observations of various settings, from beach parties to classrooms, he identifies the places where teens thrive and proposes actionable ideas for creating more supportive environments that encourage active participation and personal development.
