Rethinking School Streets in the Time of COVID-19 | Part Two

January 28, 2021 | 7:00 am EST

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a deep impact on young people. As 1.7 billion children worldwide set forth to schools every day, are they breathing clean air, do they cross roads safely, and do they have an opportunity to walk or cycle to school? In this webinar featuring city planning, education, and road safety experts from across the globe, participants will learn first-hand how to reset the practices for streets outside of schools, ensure physical distancing, adapt drop-off and pick-up zones, and identify quick and efficient solutions that can be rolled out at a larger scale.

Speakers:

Nina Asterina, Program Manager on Inclusivity, Kota Kita Foundation, (Surakarta, Indonesia)

Rachel Buck, Principal City Planner, Transport for London, (London, UK)

Simon Kalolo, Tanzania Country Manager, Amend (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania)
