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.
Lukas – I made a bridge so people can walk across and get to the park.
Natasha – I included features from my area like the twisty tower in the Olympic Park.
Donovan – I like the big school.
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.
Ilana – I decided to create something fun for children to do! I created a sand pit play park with a slide, a swing and some benches (left) and a zipline (right).
Ibrahim – My city is good because it has lots of trees.
Sodbayer – there are lots of houses for people to live which is good for everyone and their family and friends.
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.
