We looked at buildings and structures that make our city child friendly. We were asked to do this project by:
Place Alliance which is a research and campaign body for place quality within the Bartlett School of Planning at University College London.
Sustrans are the charity making it easier for people to walk and cycle.

Chris – I wanted to make something that will keep children and adults safe. So I created a fire engine and an ambulance so if there are ever any emergencies there is someone to call.

Zachary – I created a town hall for our city. A town hall is important because this is where the decisions are made about how to make the city safer and more child-friendly.

Zeren – I decided to design a pool for our city. A pool is a good thing to include because on a hot summer’s day, children can come here and have fun with their family and friends.
