Making Kid-Friendly Cities: Lessons from Around the World
What does it take to create an active living environment for children in cities? From three different perspectives - Canada, Europe, and South America - speakers will look not just at the physical dimensions of the issue but also consider the cultural contexts. Why, for instance, do children walk and cycle to school in some countries but not in others, even when the distances are the same? What are considerations about placement and design of playgrounds? Panel members will explore the experience in their own communities of planning and building safe public spaces, and comparing the results of such initiatives. Promotional programs and cultural differences will be examined. The emphasis will be on what works in the long run, given that children have different needs at different ages.
