Children to have a say in Cyberabad’s urban planning
Cyberabad Municipal Corporation, in collaboration with UNICEF, plans to consult children across its 76 wards to understand their needs, concerns and aspirations and involve them in shaping safer, more inclusive and child-friendly neighbourhoods
The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation plans to involve children in urban planning decisions, treating them as stakeholders. In collaboration with UNICEF, the corporation will consult children in government schools, youth schools, anganwadis and orphanages to learn about their needs, concerns and desired changes to their neighborhoods.
The initiative aims to identify at least 152 resource persons across the city's 76 wards, with two to three persons per ward. A 'Listening to Children' campaign is scheduled for November 20 to 23, coinciding with Child Rights Day. The CMC intends to create an environment where young voices are heard, ensuring the future of their city is shaped according to their perspectives.
