Biography
Angela Kreutz is a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) postdoctoral fellow at the Children, Youth and Environments Research Center at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA.
"Angela Kreutz’s book is an unusually profound contribution to the research literature on child-friendly environments and children’s environmental experiences...Although many important contributions to child-environment research stress the universal characteristics of environmental child-friendliness, Kreutz’s work is a very important reminder of alternative truths and a more complex reality." - Marketta Kyttä, Children, Youth and Environments, Vol. 25, No. 1 (2015)
