The city, as seen by the children ages four and five, begins with a reflection of the identity of their cities. The current issue of the “problem of the city” draws important considerations, thus creating a diversity of ideas and reflections upon which to build theories and hypotheses and, later, change. The construction of the hanging city shapes the evolution of ideas where an identity is established.

Building the 'Hanging City' enables the houses to communicate, the community to interact, and the people to live cooperatively. The city, in the process of becoming, shows the relationships between what is real, and what is imagined. But the imagination paves the way for the future.

The children became critical of their ideas and thinking, and at the same time, they became creative and imaginative. Some became resourceful, while others were inventive. All the skills learned throughout the year stemmed from their contribution and involvement in the project. Thus, growth came naturally rather than forced.
If there is one thing I can say about the project this school year, it is awesome. The children did great, and the ideas that spun around the city were brilliant and cohesive. This is teamwork at its best for children four and five years of age. Kudos to everyone!

Why "hanging city" by the way? Hindi naman ako nag skip read and nakuha ko yung "construction of the hanging city" but i'm still fascinated about thr idea to call it "the hanging city" (kulet ko sensya naman)
It was called the hanging city because it is supposedly hanging from a huge cave with metal chains. The structure was a representation of that idea. Thailand was inundated by the flood when the children were in the lower grade so when they came up to my class, I used the idea of a flood artwork to motivate children to create a future city thus the hanging city came up.
