Comprehensive and useful course on child-friendly design of citites

As someone who is interested in child-friendly urban planning, this course was a great introduction to the topic as it touched upon all important aspects from childhood development to policy recommendations. I only wish for more in-text citations of the sources that would support the findings of the course.

Thought provocative indeed!

Many things compelled me to say, "ohh! Why didn't I think of this before." And many were like that's exactly how I felt when I revisited my old place few years later after growing up. All in all, Kudos to the team!
