A child -friendly city is also a city <br />with a bright future. Any city that fails to <br />attract and retain families is a city whose <br />long-term economic prospects are bleak. <br />only the most heartless would say we <br />should ignore children in city building. <br />But why should we seek to involve them <br />directly? They bring to projects an <br />enthusiasm, energy, creativity, and <br />openness to new ideas that can <br />stimulate fresh, radical thinking. Their <br />voices compel us to confront questions <br />about who and what cities are for. And <br />let's not forget children's right to <br />participate in decisions that affect them, <br />as enshrined in the United Nations <br />Convention on the Rights of the Child." <br />The ultimate child -friendly neighborhood (childinthecity.org) <br />71 <br />First Kid Mayor <br />Kid Mayor and Kid Cabinet <br />KID FRIENDLY CITY INITIATIVE <br />
