Children are an indicator species for cities: so says Enrique Penalosa, the transformative former mayor of Bogota. This keynote will flesh out this maxim, showing how child-friendly planning and design boosts the case for healthy, sustainable, joyful public spaces and neighbourhoods. Focusing on four basic building blocks – streets, walking/cycling networks, public space and housing design – Tim will share insights from cities around the world.
