This collection holds five publications that help smart cities in India to create infant, toddler and caregiver-friendly neighbourhoods, produced in partnership with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the National Institute for Urban Affairs in India, along with BDP, one of Europe’s largest interdisciplinary design-led firms.
These resources were designed to give city-level stakeholders – including urban local bodies, community-based organisations, professionals and caregivers – the tools they need to create holistic neighbourhoods where families can thrive.
