Developed together with the National Institute of Urban Affairs in New Delhi, this publication showcases examples of ways to make cities friendlier for children and youth, with initiatives drawn from various sources: research studies, award lists, newspaper articles and recommendations from a community of stakeholders working in urban planning and design. It is intended to be a knowledge resource on innovative practices and approaches at national and city level. Based on the case studies, it formulates a set of recommendations.
“A good city is one in which children can grow and develop to the extent of their powers; where they can build their confidence and become actively engaged in the world; yet be autonomous and capable of managing their own affairs.”
