Yet we have created unsafe street conditions for children in cities around the world. Every day, more than 500 children die in road crashes globally. The physical and mental health benefits of walking and biking are challenged by speeding traffic and unsafe pedestrian rights of way. Streets that are designed with the needs of children and their caregivers in mind have been shown to improve road safety, health, and quality of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Building on the success of their \u003ci\u003eGlobal Street Design Guide\u003c\/i\u003e, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO)-Global Designing Cities Initiative (GDCI) Streets for Kids program has developed child-focused design guidance to inspire leaders, inform practitioners, and empower communities around the world to consider their city from the eyes of a child. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The guidance in \u003ci\u003eDesigning Streets for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e captures international best practices, strategies, programs, and policies that cities around the world have used to design streets and public spaces that are safe and appealing to children from their earliest days. The guidance also highlights tactics for engaging children in the design process, an often-overlooked approach that can dramatically transform how streets are designed and used. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From addressing the lack of mobility options to noise and air pollution, this graphics-rich guide will help to design better streets, and thereby better cities, for kids of all ages and their caregivers. \u003ci\u003eDesigning Streets for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e provides both inspiration and application. By focusing specifically on children and caregivers, this book fills a significant void in physical urban design guidance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors Inc \/G\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1642830712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642830712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Island Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors Inc \/G","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984820207871,"sku":"9781642830712","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cf662ab-6bfc-41c0-b735-162b866cdb64.jpg?v=1683274334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/designing-streets-for-kids-national-association-of-city-transportat-9781642830712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
