Learn to look at streets through the lens of children and caregivers, and to integrate play, joy, and beauty into safe street design. This interactive workshop builds on GDCI’s Designing Streets for Kids guidance, discussing street design strategies, how to engage kids, and why school streets are so critical to provide during the pandemic.
To help city staff transition from pandemic response to recovery, this workshop examines how to evaluate which temporary pop-ups should be converted to permanent projects. Panelists discuss an equity-centered approach to exploring metrics used to evaluate and prioritize projects, as well as frameworks to help consider and decide which projects to take from pop-up to permanent.
If you’re ready to step through the process of setting contextually-appropriate speed limits on city streets, then this workshop is for you.
