In using the assemblage theory, this article focuses on the concepts of “city singularity” and “urban atmospheres” in designing better places for children. A literature review revealed a theoretical framework aiming at a possible relationship between singularity, urban atmospheres, and assemblage thinking. A retrospective survey launched among practitioners provided insights for developing the formwork and investigated the school-age children’s environment in public places around the globe. The results reveal how physical forms should be configured to fit the outdoor daily life and create salient urban atmospheres. Discussing the findings of articulating the theory ends with four lessons learned in the creation of friendly atmospheres for school-age children that can make a singularity of today’s cities. The concluding remarks can motivate urban planners and designers to design a better children’s environment.

本文在运用组合理论时，重点关注“城市奇点”和“城市氛围”的概念，为儿童设计更好的场所。文献综述揭示了一个理论框架，旨在研究奇点、城市氛围和组合思维之间可能存在的关系。在从业者中发起的一项回顾性调查为开发模板提供了见解，并调查了全球公共场所学龄儿童的环境。结果揭示了应该如何配置物理形式以适应户外日常生活并创造突出的城市氛围。讨论阐明该理论的发现结束时，我们总结了在为学龄儿童创造友好氛围的过程中学到的四项经验教训，这可以使当今的城市成为一个独特的地方。
