Rotterdam, NL, 3-5.11.2008: Child in the City conference

Excerpt from announcement:

"- A second series of workshops will focus on a child friendly urban 
planning. The basic concept is the ‘city-web’, or more specifically 
‘play-web’. In this concept all interesting places for children (such as 
schools, swimming pools, play areas, shopping centres,…) are 
interconnected by interesting links (roads that are not just safe but 
enjoyable as well). Rather than a design theme, this is a theme of urban 
planning. Workshops on this theme will focus on children’s mobility, the 
link of play areas to other places, how to make places playful without 
making them play areas etc. The objective is to conclude with guidelines 
that help the cities to develop a child-oriented urban planning."

*The Child in the City conference is the fourth bi-annual conference of 
the European Network Child Friendly Cities (EN CFC). During the last 
decennium this conference has been the place to be for all cities and 
scientists focussing on the theme of a local child friendly policy. 
Cities from all over Europe (but also from Canada and Australia, and…) 
inspired each other by telling about their own experiences and looking 
for similar cities with similar problems. It is as a market and a lab in 
which new ideas are developed.*//
