Modelul care ar putea fi preluat și în România. Străzi fără mașini pentru câteva ore, dedicate copiilor

A city in northern England has implemented a simple solution to encourage children to play outside by closing streets to traffic. The initiative in Leeds transforms certain streets into play areas, particularly in less affluent neighborhoods lacking safe play spaces. Children engage in various games, fostering social interaction and physical activity away from screens. A recent survey indicates that 46% of parents feel their children lack safe play areas. The 'Play Street' program not only benefits children but also provides parents with opportunities to connect with neighbors. This experiment highlights the potential of public spaces to unite communities and may inspire similar projects across Europe.
