In October 2024, the Streets for Kids project was inaugurated in the Jordão neighborhood in Recife, Brazil, a community where children faced multiple challenges accessing safe and high-quality public spaces. Heavy rains, frequent flooding, and landslide risks often made their journey to school dangerous and unpredictable. Throughout the process, children, caregivers, school staff, and residents were engaged to co-create solutions that improve access to schools, supporte outdoor play and social connection, and set a precedent for future child-focused street transformations in Recife.
Join us at Velo-city 2023 where GDCI will present at five sessions covering everything from how cycling can foster inclusion, better cycling initiatives for children and caregivers, and how tactical urbanism can change the world. Don't forget to visit us at our booth where you can learn more about our projects in-person.
