Children have long been a group whose needs and perspectives have been widely ignored in public spaces, despite several international legal documents and regulations proving their rights in the city. Based on those, child-friendliness criteria have been proposed and described. The established guidelines of: mobility and access, safety and security, attractiveness and comfort have been further explored through surveys conducted with minors. Subsequently, these criteria have been applied to the chosen district of Łabędy, to examine how they present in existing public spaces. The goal of the paper is to explore how child-friendliness criteria showcased in an average district and how average city development can create spaces and solutions that are friendly for children.
