Child-friendly places around the world
We would like to share a few examples of child-friendly places around the world. From small, free initiatives to large infrastructure projects, all are necessary to make spaces better for our smallest citizens to live in.
1. In Copenhagen’s traffic playgrounds, children can ride tiny bikes and cars through kid-sized traffic lights and streets to learn road safety. 🚲
2. Tokyo has a 240-acre park ‘Kodomonokuni’ built specifically for kids, with farms, trains, art studios, forests, and even a mini amusement park. 🎨
3. Mexico City plan to turn a highway into a giant family park. City built ‘Parque Lineal’, full of playgrounds and family areas. Kids now play where cars used to drive! 🛝
4. Seoul has child-friendly ‘safety zones’. Near schools, the city created bright yellow streets, slower speed limits, and crossings designed from a child’s eye level. 🚌
5. Every Sunday in Bogota, 120 km of streets close to cars for ‘Ciclovía’. Kids bike, skate, scoot, dance, and reclaim the streets. 🛹
