Building a Playful Oxfordshire: how child-friendly planning and design can save cities
Another chance to catch Oxfordshire Liveable Streets’ and Active Oxfordshire’s excellent online talk with Tim Gill, author of Urban Playground, which considered how viewing our neighbourhoods through the lens of children can make them better for everyone.
This was the first in a series of online ‘Build Back Fairer’ events considering how we might address the inequalities that some people face in accessing public space – be that streets, parks or other open spaces.
It features a contribution from 10-year old Miriam, who shares her experiences of living in the Florence Park low traffic neighbourhood, and shows how feedback from Cowley’s children was used to create a kids’ map to help them navigate their neighbourhood independently.
