Designing Streets for Kids

Informationen zum Autor Launched in 2014, the Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) focuses on the critical role of streets around the world. GDCI is committed to raising the state of the practice for street design and sustainable transportation by building a common vision, providing technical assistance and design guidance, sharing data, and supporting peer-to-peer exchanges and regular communication among international cities. GDCI's Streets for Kids program is generously supported by the Bernard van Leer Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, FIA Foundation, and Fondation Botnar. Klappentext Building on the success of their Global Street Design Guide , the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO)-Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) Streets for Kids program has developed child-focused design guidance to inspire leaders, inform practitioners, and empower communities around the world to consider their city from the eyes of a child. The guidance in Designing Streets for Kids captures international best practices, strategies, programs, and policies that cities around the world have used to design streets and public spaces that are safe and appealing to children from their earliest days. The guidance also highlights tactics for engaging children in the design process, an often-overlooked approach that can dramatically transform how streets are designed and used.
