Book excerpt: What type of cities do we want our children to grow up in? Noisy, polluted and devoid of nature? Or walkable, welcoming and green? At a time of unprecedented urbanisation, inclusivity is essential in our cities. Considering the physical and mental health of those under the age of 18 living in cities, this book joins the dots between progressive, sustainable planning and transportation policies. Providing benefits for all, it explores the ways urban designers and city planners can incorporate child friendly design into their streetscapes - including greater safety, stronger community, better health and a boost to the local economy with retention of families.
