 Living Environments of Little Urban Dwellers: Local Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Environmental Factors Related to Early Childhood Development and Family Well-Being 
The neighbourhoods in which children grow up may expose them to risk and protective factors that can influence their development and well-being, although the underlying mechanisms and processes need to be better understood. This study documented the perspectives of local stakeholders in four Quebec City neighbourhoods (Quebec, Canada) on community-level environmental factors that may influence the development of young children and the well-being of their families. Five categories of community-level factors that may be related to early childhood development and family well-being were explored: 1) physical environment; 2) social environment; 3) socio-economic factors; 4) access and quality of services; and 5) governance. Using a multi-site ethnographic approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 local stakeholders involved with children 0-5 years old and their families. Their perspectives on the above mentioned factors were qualitatively analyzed. For each neighborhood, strengths and challenges were identified in relation to child and family well-being. Stakeholders’ perspectives suggest that factors were interrelated, and that, although there were similarities among the neighbourhoods, they also had particularities, including a sense of belonging and civic engagement in the neighbourhood where the developmental indicators of children at school entry was the highest among the studied neighbourhoods. Finally, preliminary avenues for action that can promote child and family well-being are proposed based on the perspectives of the stakeholders.
