Dear sympathizers of child-friendly cities,
The attention for child-friendly cities is growing. More municipalities and cities in more countries are developing a
policy focused on children and youngsters. More NGO’s
organise initiatives with children and youngsters to become
active citizens in their environment. More universities and
research centres are involved in several projects and
approach the child friendly cities from a scientifically viewpoint. The move towards more child-friendly cities with very
different partnersis undeniable.
A concrete illustration of this move, is the doubling of the
number of submitted abstracts for the Ghent conference.
In this big number of abstracts, the presence of municipalities/ cities with their concrete experiences is very manifested.
More and more cities can present nice results on their
‘childfriendlyness’: they love to show their results and to
exchange ideas with other cities. The NGO’s and scientific
organisations are from in the beginning active stimulators of
the Child Friendly Cities; their presence at the conference
will be very visible.
We hope you enjoy your stay in this beautiful City of Ghent,
relax with colleagues old and new, and learn about all the
latest developments within this important movement.
Hoping to see you in Ghent!
Dr. Jan van Gils
President of ENCFC

The City of Ghent
With more than 250.000 inhabitants, Ghent is the 3rd largest city of Belgium. In 2013, the newly elected city council
announced its commitment to become the most child and
youth friendly city of the Flemish region.This ambition was
the key, the integral policy goal within the municipality’s
mission statement and overall strategic plan. This was a
bold political choice, all the more remarkable, given the
context of budgetary constraints and confusion about
the future of local youth policy at the level of the regional
Flemish government.
.
Becoming a child friendly city requires much more
than attractive new playgrounds: it implies coordinated
commitments and action in each of the domains that impact
on children and young people’s lives: education, mobility,
spatial planning, social care, health and wellbeing, environment, culture and sports, as well as the more obvious youth
and play services. A genuine child friendly city will bear
down on child poverty, youth unemployment and be committed to accessible, affordable high quality childcare.
