Abstract

The focus on cars in urban planning has made cities increasingly child-unfriendly. The European research project Metamorphosis aims at introducing new ideas and suggestions for changing this by empowering active mobility and bottom-up human-scale design. In three years, from 2017 to 2020, three universities, three commercial parties and seven cities work together towards a common goal: the development and implementation of bottom-up measures to achieve lasting behavioural change to make neighbourhoods more inclusive, active, less car-dependent and thus child-friendlier. The exploration of new ways to involve primary school children in city planning proofed to be successful and granted bigger support for the project among children, parents, schools, neighbours and policy makers. Aim of this paper is to elaborate on the implemented measures, the participation and co-creation processes carried out, as well as on the evaluation approach used, the project results and lessons learnt.
