Reclaiming Streets

Reclaiming Streets is a practice-based learning program that has been running since 2022. It aims to create livable, pedestrian- and child-friendly streets through interim and final street transformation implementations. The program places children and pedestrians at the center, striving to make streets safer, healthier, and more inclusive by going beyond motor vehicle-focused designs. It enhances municipal capacities through educational and workshop activities, and uses a phased design approach to make participation, budgeting, and implementation processes more effective.
