Urban 95 is a development initiative to identify and scale ideas for live, play and interact for young children through better public places, transport planning, early childhood services, land use policies and data management across the city of Pune. The project led the proposals working with the city and urban entrepreneurs to identify and scale ideas to change the way families with young children use public spaces. This include walkable neighborhoods that cater for the basics a young family needs, public spaces close to home that attract all generations while allowing small children to explore safely, and reliable transport that makes it easy, affordable and enjoyable for families with young children to travel where they need to go.

 

Providing a safe, healthy and an interesting environment to all the children at a very start is the best development policy to build healthy, prosperous, creative and sustainable communities. A better designed public spaces where all where all the children can thrive will eventually lead to a successful society. The policy also means planning simultaneously for other vulnerable groups in the society (Elderly and disabled)
