This paper discusses the establishment of an international Child-Friendly Cities Secretariat in Florence. The Child-Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI), active since Habitat II, is a loose network of municipalities that are committed to improving the quality of life for their child residents. The paper describes some of the wide range of projects that have been undertaken in response to this initiative and lists the activities that the secretariat plans in order to support these efforts and share information about them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
