This thesis explores children’s and adolescents’ everyday experiences of happiness in urban contexts. Thus, it discusses the role of the city in terms of the physical environment and the emotional attachment to it. To do so, it employed a multi-methodological research programme conducted in Lima, Peru, between the months of March and July 2018. As a result, the thesis provides four key empirical findings: (1) Children’s and adolescents’ happiness can be conceptualised as fundamentally social, cutting across through all aspects of their everyday lives. (2) Children’s and adolescents’ experiences of urban happiness are likely to be mediated by four urban variables - sociability, accessibility, safety, and environmental quality. (3) Urban spaces, providing experiences of happiness included parks, sport areas, streets, commercial and worshipping spaces; and (4) children’s and adolescent’s happiness in the city appeared to be moderated by context. the study provided a valuable perspective on the region and the significance of levels of affluence, yielding insights for policy makers and urban practitioners seeking to translate happiness into urban policy and practice. Mainly, for those aiming to rethink the urban environment from a more child-friendly and human-centred perspective.
