On a Montréal, Canada project to design a space in the city for kids, rather than for cars.
The Dutch achieved this with a grassroots campaign in the 70s called “Stop the kindermoordt” (child deaths)
“child murder” i would translate. they did not hold back and thats good.
Thank you for the correction.

Can’t wait to see these spaces not get used because people would rather share tiktoks and stay indoors or whatever
Based on feedback, kids seem to love them because it’s a dedicated play area right near their home to meet up with their friends. Even in winter. I’d have been all over that as a kid, even if I liked computer/TV/games.
I should add a disclaimer though that I’m not against doing this, just I have my fears that they will just be empty areas with how people seem to be these days with screens and all.
Regardless, it should still be done
