Planning for Kids

The Canadian Institute of Planners has provided a manual for planners and educators – A Kid’s Guide to Building Great Communities –  that strikes me as a good introduction for anyone, particularly neighbourhood groups interested in, well, the ABCs.

And in Montreal they’ve put the kids to use: The Montreal Ecology Centre gave ’em cameras to make their neighbourhood safer and more pleasant for cyclists and pedestrians.  Sounds subversive to me.

Thanks to Tom Durning.

UPDATE: And also thisWhere Things Are, From Near to Far: A children’s book about planning.
