PLAN CITIES WITH CHILDREN IN MIND – Consumers Association Penang

In too many cities, kids are growing up surrounded by traffic, concrete, and “private property” signs – instead of parks, safe sidewalks, and green public spaces.

The result? Screen time replaces play time. Movement, creativity, and social interaction take a hit.

Urban design isn’t just about buildings – it’s about childhood, freedom, and the right to play.

Cities must plan with children in mind:
Safe, accessible parks
Walkable streets
Public space that belongs to everyone

Let’s build cities where kids can be kids again.
