Data and Urban95 in Türkiye: Data-driven Strategy

Though the shortfalls of many traditional playgrounds are increasingly understood, it is not feasible for a city to rebuild them all – instead they should look at how existing playgrounds, parks and public spaces can be adapted to support play and child development. This brief looks at how data on location, accessibility, existing features and play value can inform local governments’ decisions. Available in Turkish below.

All urban and green spaces should be based on spatial planning and quality factors that include children’s needs and preferences. And planning requires the use of data.

This publication is part of a collection on data and Urban95 in Türkiye, produced together with the Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV).
