| Abstract |
Schools are one of the most crucial spaces in the city, home of large volumes of people every day, and particularly sensitive social groups, like kids. K1 (Kids First) will work on the protection of schools and their surroundings as a priority among strategic actions aiming to transform public spaces towards a more accessible and sustainable future. The cities set out a high priority strategy to provide schools with a safe, comfortable and healthy public space as a meeting place for children, their families and neighbours.
In Barcelona, this project aims to be complementary to the City Council actions on the protection of schools (“Protegim les escoles”) by implementing in a strategic area along Perú Street and Paraguai Street. On its side, Milan will develop a branch of its tactical urbanism programs (“Piazze Aperte” and “Strade Aperte”) for school spaces, to pursue the objective of a 15-minute-city vision based on the proximity accessibility of high quality and safe public spaces. |
