Join the Center for the Living City for a conversation with urbanist and Urbanistica Podcast host, Mustafa Sherif, as he invites us into the world of child-friendly cities. In this Jane Jacobs Lecture, Mustafa will take us through the importance of children in our cities and offer practical suggestions for making child-friendly cities. By taking on these roles and responsibilities, architects and urban practitioners can help to create more sustainable and inclusive built environments that promote the well-being of all members of the community, including children, and contribute to building stronger, more equitable communities.

Space is limited but the event will be recorded and available on our website and YouTube channel afterward.
