City planners lack valid scientific tools to assess living conditions in urban areas and the local inhabitants’ perception of their environment. This toolkit can be used by various stakeholders to plan and design Infant, Toddler, and Caregiver-friendly neighbourhoods (ITCN). It encourages local authorities to understand how the built environment and planning prompt decisions and spaces for young children and caregivers. It aims to comprehensively collect data segregated into 4 core theme verticals that are designed to achieve 5 objectives of ITCN – Play, Safe, Green, Accessible, and Inclusive; using rapid and in-depth assessment. This toolkit also highlights the importance of data-driven decision making in transforming city spaces through advanced planning and governance.
The interventions to make our cities Infants, Toddlers and Caregivers (ITCN) friendly requires a data driven approach to ensure that they’re relevant to the needs of our communities.
This toolkit was undertaken on behalf of the Foundation by The National Institute of Urban Affairs, under the Infant, Toddler and Caregiver-Friendly Neighbourhoods (ITCN) Capacity Building Programme.
