Places to Go?

20 May 2008 - London

A national conference by Play England, Sustrans, Living Streets and the National Children's Bureau to promote place-shaping, safer streets and sustainable transport for a child-friendly public realm.

The Places to Go? conference explored the opportunities represented by The Children's Plan and addressed some of its challenges. It presented policy and practice for professionals in planning, landscaping, play, school travel, public health, traffic and transport.

The conference explored links between the twin imperatives of creating a public realm that is enjoyable, healthy and accessible to children; and environmentally sustainable.
