Plan for the Needs of Children and Youth

OPPI's Call to Action proposes that Ontario municipalities endorse a set of 21 child and youth friendly land-use and transportation guidelines.

The 21 child and youth friendly land-use and transportation guidelines were developed in the spirit of a statement by Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogotà, Colombia. “If we can build a successful city for children we will have a successful city for all people.” The guidelines have been endorsed by OPPI and thus represent OPPI’s position on these matters, at least for urban and suburban communities.
