Cities Architecture for Children
Empowering Children through City Architecture
Hoshiar Nooraddin, PhD
Chairman of the Board
In 1989, UN issued United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child UNCRC as an international agreement on childhood. UNCR is a legally-binding international agreement setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities (UNICEF, UN).
City architecture has to include these rights in planning, designing, and functions of the cities. The important principle is considering children in all design fields and details equal to adults. The city needs be a real container for adults and children.
To achieve such target, the city has to develop and apply own particular children’s city architecture policy.
