Dr Paul Tranter critiques the Disney movie Monsters, Inc. in an entertaining examination of the serious issue of making our cities safe, fun and connective for our kids.
Using data from Australia and across the globe, as well as feedback from children, Dr Tranter suggests three main ways of making cities child-friendly:
- changes to urban form and transport
- improvements to neighbourhood design
- changes in social values
Learn about a push to move kids away from cars and back to footpaths and bikes, along with what peak oil means for the safety of our children and their environment.
This lecture was recorded in the Visions Theatre at the National Museum of Australia during Children's Week on 27 October 2007.
