ABSTRACT
The chapter begins with a review of literatures on education for sustainability (EfS) and a call for closer attention to everyday experiences of architectural and technological geographies of sustainability that encompass, but extend beyond, EfS. It explores sustainable technologies as part of everyday routines and practices. The chapter argues how the appearance and subtleness of eco-technologies and architectural forms elicited a suite of anxieties about their 'weirdness'. It explores how children and young people's experiences of the functional and technological complexity of sustainable urban technologies resulted in them and their families disengaging with and sometimes renouncing sustainable urbanisms. The chapter discusses how sustainability is practised and experienced by children in their everyday life with friends, with family or on their own. It also discusses how play is constitutive of the more-than-human liveliness of sustainable urban communities. Children's 'taken-for-grantedness' was observed on guided walks around Hettonbury.
