Child Impact Assessments
Incorporating children’s perspectives into urban planning fosters safer and healthier living environments. At Tengbom, we conduct Child Impact Assessments (Barnkonsekvensanalys) to evaluate how planned infrastructure or planning documents may affect children living and moving through a specific area.
A Child Impact Assessment is a systematic evaluation of how various measures influence children’s lives. It’s aimed at municipalities, developers, contractors, and authorities responsible for planning and implementing such measures. Integrating a Child Impact Assessment into processes like road or zoning planning ensures that children’s needs and environments are prioritized.
Let the children have their say.
A Child Impact Assessment anticipates the effects and consequences of planned actions on children and youth. The goal is to ensure these actions are beneficial for children while aligning with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children provide their perspectives during the assessment, offering insights into their experiences. The analysis identifies improvement opportunities and recommends adjustments, safeguards, and compensatory measures. While primarily focused on children, these assessments also benefit other groups in society.
At Tengbom, our multidisciplinary teams conduct Child Impact Assessments with diverse approaches tailored to each project.
