Expo 2020 Dubai unveils child-friendly urban planning in Sharjah – Construction Week Online

Sharjah has set a global benchmark in child-friendly urban planning best practices at Expo 2020 Dubai with the launch of the ‘Sharjah Principles for Child-Friendly Urban Planning.

The pioneering design guide which puts children at the heart of urban planning, has been developed by the Sharjah Child Friendly Office (SCFO)’s Child Friendly Urban Planning (CFUP) project in strategic partnership with Sharjah Urban Planning Council (SUPC), UNICEF and UN Habitat.

Coinciding with the World Cities Day, the launch of the Sharjah Principles reflects the emirate’s firm commitment to human-centric, sustainable and inclusive development.
