In a child-friendly municipality, children’s voices are heard even before construction begins – the traffic park is being designed based on children’s wishes 

Tuusula’s new traffic park is being built based on the children’s own wishes. In workshops held in March, children had the chance to design the future park’s features using Lego, drawing and brainstorming. The results provide designers with valuable insight into what kind of environment best serves children.
