More than one billion babies and children live in urban environments. However, the way cities are planned fails to consider their needs, or those of the people responsible for their care. To support decision-makers, urban planners, and transportation professionals in improving access to urban opportunities for thousands of Brazilian children, ITDP Brasil has launched Access for Babies, Toddlers, and Caregivers, developed in partnership with the Bernard van Leer Foundation.
During their daily journeys, children and their families face a scarcity of accessible, inviting, and safe mobility options and public spaces. Cities are not designed to meet the needs of babies, toddlers, and caregivers, and mobility systems have not been planned around their daily trips.
