May 17, 2005.
of a child-friendly public space, geared for playing, walking and
cycling. It will bring together parents, politicians, planners,
pressure groups, professionals, practitioners and other people to
address one of the most pressing challenges facing local government
today: how can we facilitate children's needs for playing and
independent (walking and cycling) mobility in ever busier cities?
The conference employs a mix of formats to ensure that the small group
of interdisciplinary participants is actively involved throughout.
Presentations, discussions, design workshops and excursions in Delft
and The Hague are offered. Illustrated examples from the Netherlands
and the rest of the world will provide an overview of the state of the
art in finding ways to use scarce city space optimally for people, not
for cars.
