Urban95 Learning Exchange Webinar – Reimagining Early Childhood Development facilities as crucial public spaces

Early Childhood Development facilities such as Anganwadis and Public Health Centers (PHC) are the public spaces accessed by young children and caregivers the most. However, their specific needs, which are distinct from those of other users are seldom considered while designing these spaces. The Nurturing Neighbourhoods Challenge has prompted the cities to reimagine these ECD facilities as public spaces for the community that can be used even post operational hours. The ‘Reimagining Early Childhood Development facilities as crucial public spaces ’ webinar narrates stories of change in Bengaluru, Kochi, and Vadodara and the steps taken by the decision-makers in the city to sustain these solutions in the long run.
