Wie können wir Städte gestalten, in denen sich Kinder sicher, gehört und willkommen fühlen? Der nächste message.TALK am 17.

Our guest, Mustafa Sherif, Urban Planner and Studio Manager at AFRY Stockholm, talks about “Childfriendly Cities” – places that are not only designed for children, but planned together with them. In his presentation he shows that: planning with children creates better cities for everyone.

In addition, we present three inspiring cases from our agency  that show how children can be involved in planning and design:

• The KlimaWaldWeg Hainfeld – an adventure trail for families/school classes that uses gamification to make climate knowledge a playful experience. Here, learning becomes an adventure, design becomes a mediator and the forest becomes a classroom.
• Teens4Change Korneuburg – young people put their home town’s sustainability to the test and show what has already been achieved – and where there is still potential.
• K!SA-Periscope – What starts as a playful change of perspective becomes a valuable planning tool – for safe, child-friendly streets and spaces, and more awareness in everyday life.

The webinar rethinks urban planning – as participatory, empathetic and future-oriented process. The breakfast talk will be moderated by our communication and urban design experts, Lida Moldovan and Claas Bischof.
