Mara Mintzer from Growing Up Boulder gives us the scoop on their youth-friendly city initiative, a program established to include the voices of children in the decisions of local government, focusing on things such as public spaces, transit, and housing.  If kids are going to be affected by these decisions, doesn't it make sense to at least hear what they have to say? Involving children – especially those from underrepresented backgrounds – sheds a whole new light on aspects of city and social planning that would otherwise go unnoticed.  It also gives them a glimpse of what it looks like to make a true and tangible impact on the world, with the hope that the experience inspires them both professionally and personally down the line. Growing Up Boulder is now working alongside UNICEF USA to inspire and educate children through unique projects their students are sure to remember for the rest of their lives.

On this edition of the People's School on Community Leadership, Professor Tom Urbaniak and guest Mara Mintzer discuss ways to create child-friendly communities and why that is important.

Early-childhood experts often like to say that a child's environment is one of their most important teachers. But what can our built environments learn from children? This Raising Curious Learners episode, Ann and Elizabeth welcome a special guest who makes a strong case for listening to our most creative citizens. Mara Mintzer is a mom, author, speaker, and the co-founder and director of Growing Up Boulder, which taps into play as a strategy and lifts the voices of young people in the city planning process.

Mara Mintzer and Louise Chawla, co-authors of “Placemaking with Children and Youth,” realized that children were not integrated in the city planning process. They discuss how they were brave enough to start the integration process because they believe engaging children and youth in the urban design process largely benefits the city. Filmmaker Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee discusses his new documentary "Earthrise" and the impact of the famous photo.

Adults tend to think of kids as "future citizens" -- their ideas and opinions will matter someday, just not today. But kids make up a quarter of the population, so shouldn't they have a say in what the world they'll inherit will look like? Urban planner Mara Mintzer shares what happened when she and her team asked kids to help design a park in Boulder, Colorado -- and how it revealed an important blind spot in how we construct the built environment. "If we aren't including children in our planning, who else aren't we including?" Mintzer asks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

어른들은 어린이들이 "미래의 시민"이니 오늘은 아니지만 언젠가는 이들의 생각이 중요해 질 것이라고 생각합니다. 그러나 어린이들은 도시 인구의 1/4이니, 이들이 물려받을 세계가 어떠했으면 좋겠다고 말할 수 없는 것일까요? 도시 설계사 마라 민처는 그녀와 그녀의 팀이 아이들에게 콜로라도 주 볼더시의 공원을 디자인 해달라고 부탁했을 때 벌어진 일을 공유합니다. 그리고 이렇게 환경을 만들어 나가는 과정에서 어떻게 우리의 중요한 맹점이 드러났는지를 말합니다. "만약 우리가 어린이들을 잊고 있었다면, 또 어떤 목소리들을 잊고 있었던 걸까요? 민처가 묻습니다.

Les adultes considèrent les enfants comme de « futurs citoyens » - leurs idées et leurs avis auront un jour de l'importance, mais pas maintenant. Pourtant les enfants représentent un quart de la population, alors ne devraient-ils pas avoir leur mot à dire sur ce à quoi ressemblera le monde dont il vont hériter ? L'urbaniste Mara Mintzer nous raconte ce qui est arrivé, lorsqu'elle et son équipe ont demandé à des enfants de les aider à concevoir un parc à Boulder dans le Colorado -- et comment cela a mi en lumière une importante zone d'ombre sur la manière dont nous construisons l'environnement urbain. « Si nous n'incluons pas les enfants dans bos projets, qui d'autre excluons-nous ? » interroge Mara Mintzer.

Los adultos tienden a pensar que los niños son "futuros ciudadanos", y que sus ideas y opiniones serán importantes algún día, no hoy. Pero los niños conforman un cuarto de la población, ¿no deberían poder dar su opinión sobre la apariencia del mundo que heredarán un día? La diseñadora urbana, Mara Mintzer, comparte lo ocurrido cuando ella y su equipo les solicitaron a unos niños a contribuir con el diseño de un parque en Boulder, Colorado, y cómo esto reveló un punto ciego importante sobre la manera en que construimos nuestro ambiente. Mara pregunta: "Si no incluimos a los niños en nuestro planificación, ¿a quién más no estamos incluyendo?"

Os adultos tendem a pensar nas crianças e jovens como "futuros cidadãos". As ideias e opiniões deles serão importantes algum dia, só que não hoje. Mas as crianças e os jovens compõem um quarto da população, então, não deveriam ter uma opinião sobre como será o mundo que vão herdar? A planejadora urbana Mara Mintzer compartilha o que aconteceu quando ela e sua equipe pediram às crianças e aos jovens que ajudassem a projetar um parque em Boulder, Colorado, e como isso revelou um importante ponto cego em como lidamos com a construção de ambientes. "Se não estamos incluindo crianças e jovens em nosso planejamento, quem mais estamos deixando de fora?" Mintzer pergunta.
