In September 2026, GDCI will launch a series of open and global webinar sessions on How to Implement Cycling Infrastructure—our latest practice-oriented publication. The series will explore key concepts from the handbook, share practical tips, and feature real-world examples that demonstrate how cities are working to increase cycling through infrastructure design.
Transforming streets near schools is a strategic starting point for cities looking to make their city safer, healthier, and more welcoming for children and their communities.
Ciudad Emergente partnered with the Municipality of Cerrillos and the Mayor University to do a pop-up transformation of 7th Avenue into a pedestrian-friendly space, connecting an elementary school serving 350 children with a nearby park, and creating a safer and more playful space.
In Solo, Indonesia, the non-profit Kota Kita partnered with the Surakarta City Department of Transportation to redesign two streets near a high school, benefiting more than 500 students and residents. More than 400 kids, caregivers, and community members participated. The interim transformation created a safer, more attractive, and more inclusive environment for children by reclaiming public space for pedestrians and introducing traffic-calming elements and street art.
The Streets for Kids Reverse Periscope is a do-it-yourself tool that encourages planners, city officials, and others to experience the obstacles and attractions of city streets from a child’s perspective.
