How would cities look if we designed them with children in mind? That’s the topic of an event hosted by Prague’s Centre for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP) taking place on Wednesday evening. The lecture, titled “Start with Children”, argues for cities to put children at the centre of urban planning in order to create greener, safer places for youth to grow. Head architect at CAMP, Štěpán Bärtl, told me more.
“Today we have a special event called ‘Start with Children’, which is a preview for a conference taking place next month in Bratislava. The idea is quite simple, it’s the theory that if you design a city that is friendly and inclusive towards children, it will be friendly and inclusive for all. Our panel is going to discuss how to make Prague, and cities in general friendlier to children and our future generations.”
