What does a truly child-friendly city look like? Why should we worry about looking at cities through the eyes of children? And how can advocates make a compelling case to decision makers and the wider public?

In tackling these questions, Tim will argue that the idea of child-friendly urban planning has the power to unite advocates, policy makers and the public around the goal of expanding children’s everyday freedoms and improving cities for all.

Tim will draw out the lessons from his research and groundbreaking Churchill Fellowship study of child-friendly planning in Europe and Canada. He will set out the key components of a successful child-friendly urban planning initiative. He will offer insights into the actions of decision makers. And he will highlight the challenges and questions that we must address if we are to transform cities into places that are fit for children, and fit for the 21st century.
