Professors Emeriti in CEDaR, Louise Chawla and Willem van Vliet, co-authored a chapter on “Children’s Rights to Child-friendly Cities," which was published in the latest edition of the Handbook of Children’s Rights (Routledge, 2017). The chapter traces the history of the extension of the idea of a “right to the city” to children, the emergence of a Child Friendly Cities framework to guide urban design and policy for children, and different perspectives that have been applied to assess child-friendliness in cities. It closes with brief case studies of government and civil society programs to support children’s healthy development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Delhi, India; and �鶹ӰԺ, Colorado.
