Planning for housing caters for the recreational needs of everyone especially children. Current planning design of playing areas in low cost flats follows very minimal requirements for playing spaces but does not consider population density. The well-being of children are at stake here because the potentiality of crowdedness in the homes and in the playgrounds thus increases the need for a properly planned play spaces in the vicinity of the low-cost flats. This paper is part of a research that evaluates the critical needs children living in low-cost flats with regards to playing space. This paper will discuss the literature, present findings from opinion survey analysis and behaviour mapping on playing spaces.
