FYI – worth giving the reverse periscope a go. Reminds me of Mike Fisher’s Pram-cam project!

Keegan —

Streets feel a lot different when you’re only 95cm tall. Like any infrastructure, kids experience streets differently than adults, and have unique needs when it comes to safety and access. 

In 2018 we prototyped a Streets for Kids Reverse Periscope, a simple cardboard-and-mirrors device that lets adults experience a street from a child’s height. Today we are excited to announce a new resource for anyone interested seeing streets the way kids do. Download our new guide to creating your own Streets for Kids Reverse Periscope:

 

 

 

This new guidebook includes step-by-step instructions for assembling your own Reverse Periscope, as well as suggestions for how to use it and even how to lead your own workshop with members of your community.

We want to make it easy for everyone to use this new tool. On Wednesday, March 8, from 12:30-1:30pm EST we'll hold a free online discussion about the Reverse Periscope and how to use it. Register to join us on March 8:

 

 

The Streets for Kids Reverse Periscope is an easy and engaging way to better understand how children experience streets — and how design changes can make streets safer for people of all ages. Download the new guidebook and register for the webinar all about this new tool.

 

 

BICI applications are now closed

 

On Friday, February 3, applications closed for the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure (BICI), our competitive grant program in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies to foster catalytic change in city cycling infrastructure around the world.

Thank you to all the global cities that applied! We are now reviewing all applications and will notify all applicants about their status. We expect to announce selected cities in May 2023.
