Overview
A map of Luxembourg City, made by children, for children
The city has undergone a number of significant changes, including the appearance of several new neighbourhoods, infrastructure improvements (most notably in terms of safety around schools), new schools, childcare centres and sports facilities, and the creation or upgrade of playgrounds and leisure areas.
The purpose of the "KIDS CITY MAP" project is to create a map of Luxembourg City for all of the city's children, listing major attractions, facilities for children, and various places of interest for children (sports and cultural infrastructures, playgrounds, sports and recreation areas, etc.). The project also aims to produce a list of measures that need to be implemented in order to cater to children's and their parents' needs and expectations in terms of quality facilities as fully as possible, and to rectify any shortcomings previously identified in local districts.
Participatory project
The involvement of schoolchildren, parents and teachers is crucial to the project. Some 2,200 pupils in Cycles 3.1 to 4.2 at the City of Luxembourg's elementary schools have been invited to take part in the project by pinpointing the following on an interactive map: their daily routes, places that they think are dangerous to some degree, and places they like to visit. Parents, meanwhile, will be given the opportunity to get involved in the project by taking part in an online survey.
Online survey
Once the responses have been assessed, the main findings will be incorporated into the "KIDS CITY MAP" project, which will be presented to the general public at the end of 2025, together with a list of measures to create a more child-friendly city, and make Luxembourg City even more welcoming and family-friendly.
The survey will be available from the end of February 2025.
