Very thoughtful, comprehensive, and well-designed course for understanding the why and how of streets design for children

The course is very well designed, with right visuals to support the learning experience, embedded videos by the industry experts, the references where required to explore the topic for more details, and it gives a few opportunities for interactive exercises too. I like the depth of scope—why it is important to design streets for kids, how we can do it, the impact analysis and measurement plans.

Informative, easy to follow and interactive

I took this course as I am a mother of a toddler and live in a urban area where we are currently learning to navigate the streets - I wanted to learn more how our streets can be adapted to better ensure my daughter's safety - even as a citizen. I found the course really informative, with some key topics explored in an interesting way.
