The project presented in the following booklet is a claim to adapt the city to families and children, a shout to keep our designer’s minds alive, understanding the relevance to preserve the social diversity and to create neighbourhoods inside the urban tissue where people from all groups can feel the comfort of being at home.
Lately, because of security and health reasons, families are leaving the city centers to find a be er atmosphere to raise their children. In order to come near natural environments and quiet neighbourhoods, the city centers are losing the childlike spirit and becoming functional and repetitive.
This project, located in South Rotterdam, is an exploration of strategies and patterns to implement safety, control, health and legibility in urban environments. How to create a dynamic city where both parents and children can interact with it and find an enjoyable and pleasant place to grow up.
