Global Thinkers, Local Solvers: You want an ideal city? Solve the problems of your city!
This Learning Scenario aims to promote the concept of inclusive city through participatory design. Creating sustainable inclusive cities is vital for achieving collectively agreed sustainability goals at local, regional, and global scales. Cities are not isolated; they interact extensively with their surroundings and increasingly with the rest of the world. However, urban development has resulted in the degradation of the environment and peri-urban space, leading to environmental and social challenges such as traffic congestion, air pollution, overconsumption, discrimination, and inappropriate urban planning. To mitigate these challenges, we must create inclusive, environmentally friendly, and economically sustainable cities, which can pave the way for a more sustainable future for the planet. This Learning Scenario is based on a project undertaken by six kindergartens from Greece and Turkey, involving 18 early childhood educators. A total of 160 children participated by envisioning a city that is accessible, sustainable, ecological, emotional, and smart: the “City of their Dreams.”
