What makes urban housing good for young children and caregivers?

This discussion will explore how we understand universal concepts that make living spaces supportive of and conducive to the healthy development of young children such safety and stability of tenure, as well as design elements that create the conditions to build and sustain community and sociability such as accessible community and play spaces, and car free environments.
