The study will provide a comprehensive review of child-friendly urban spaces intervention focusing on high-rise living in Kuala Lumpur by synthesizing challenges, benefits and recommendations of possible interventions for child-friendly urban spaces. Findings will further enhance the understanding of formulating actions and interventions in creating child-friendly urban spaces.
