Project overview
Funder:
IMC Worldwide Limited on behalf of the Department for International Development, in partnership with SCC.
This project, which was undertaken in conjunction with the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, took the ideas and concepts developed through the EU 'Metamorphosis: transforming neighbourhoods' project to Low Income Countries.
In particular, further trials were conducted to make the neighbourhoods around two schools in Bangladesh more child-friendly, through contributory activities developed with the schools and local parents and children. This was supplemented by the development and implementation of an on-line ‘Toolkit’, which provided practical case studies as well as very useful guidance for the further development of child-friendly neighbourhoods, and that acted as a local language prototype for other Low and Middle income Countries to adopt.
This research was conducted as part of the High Volume Transport applied research programme in Transport – Technology Research Innovation for International Development (T-TRIID).
