Many European cities are embracing child-friendly planning and urban design. This webinar will explore four case studies from Spain, Slovakia, Albania and Germany that offer insight, inspiration and practical lessons that can be applied in the UK.

The webinar is collaboration between the TCPA and Tim Gill, childhood expert and author of Urban Playground: How child-friendly planning and design can save cities, and forms part of the TCPA’s wider work on children, young people in the built environment including:

• Raising the healthiest generation in history: why it matters where children and young people live – recommendations and evidence review from the 2024 Levelling Up, Housing and Communities inquiry into children, young people and built environment.

• Homes and neighbourhoods for children and young people – a webinar exploring why planning and the built environment matters for healthy and thriving children and young people and how to engage with children and teenagers about 20-minute neighbourhoods and place.
