Our network of global experts made invaluable contributions to the Global Street Design Guide (GSDG), and we are now looking to establish an expert-network to support the production of the Streets For Kids GSDG supplement. The expert network will be invited to contribute best practice case studies and provide feedback on drafts.Please note that all inputs and feedback will be taken into consideration, but inclusion in the final document is at the discretion of the project team. All contributions will be acknowledged in the final document under the acknowledgments page.
If you have expertise on child-oriented planning or design and are interested in participating please fill out this form.

On GDCI’s 10th Anniversary, announcing ten inaugural winners of the Street Shaper Award
Ten years in to GDCI, we’ve worked to transform streets around the world, inspiring leaders, informing practitioners, and inviting communities to imagine what’s possible when we design streets that put people first. But none of it would have been possible without the enthusiastic collaboration of urban leaders around the globe, who continue to pave the way for safer streets and better cities. In celebration of these leaders and their impact, GDCI is introducing the Street Shaper Awards.
Scaling up Streets for Kids in Brazil, Mexico and Zambia
Designing streets for kids goes beyond one-off street transformations and temporary events. It requires scaling up and making street improvements part of citywide programs and policies. In 2024, four cities, Canoas, Brazil; León, Mexico; Lusaka, Zambia; and Recife, Brazil, participated in the latest Streets for Kids program round, which included tailored technical assistance to implement projects and scale up the vision for kids-first projects, programs, and policies.
GDCI marks this World Children's Day with the release of two new booklets, “How to Engage Kids in Street Design” and “How to Evaluate Street Transformations Near Schools.”
