20 November 2024

This World Children’s Day, the Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) is stepping up to Listen to the future! with the release of two new booklets, “ How to Engage Kids in Street Design” and “ How to Evaluate Street Transformations Near Schools. ” These resources, supported by the FIA Foundation, Fondation Botnar, and the Van Leer Foundation, supplement the award-winning “Designing Streets for Kids” guide, recently translated into its ninth language. Combined, they offer cities extensive evidence, inspiring global case studies, and practical tools to support long-term and meaningful change in kids' ability to safely move, play, and enjoy the streets in their cities.
