Global Designing Cities Initiative will be collaborating with WRI and IRAP as part of the Safer Streets and Safer Mobility group under the Bloomberg Initiative for Global Road Safety to provide technical assistance to the cities of Addis Ababa, Bogota, and Sao Paulo.

In 2023, ten cities across four continents started designing their streets for kids. Collectively, the cohort reclaimed over 40,000 SqM of public space that prioritizes children and caregivers, engaged over 4,000 children in the process, and trained 140 practitioners.
Learn how street transformations designed for children can be scaled up and made permanent.
Global giants Janette Sadik-Khan (Transport Principal, Bloomberg Associates and Chair of Global Designing Cities Initiative), and Salvador Rueda (Director of Urban Ecology Agency of Barcelona) arrived in New Zealand’s capital to back the sustainable street changes that are putting people at the heart of Wellington’s streets.
