This string of visual stories highlights the influence of the built environment on early childhood development. Ten caregivers from Pune (India) share their challenges, daily routes around their homes, and aspirations for neighbourhood improvements.
The challenges of growing up in rapidly urbanising cities are many, and these stories give us a glimpse into the daily lives of caregivers and the children under their care.
Based on a research initiative conducted in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and the Eindhoven University of Technology, this publication is part of a collection on supporting urban childhoods.
