Committee on Children and Equality

Engagement with Children's Rights Alliance

2:00 am

Dr. Naomi Feely:

That is what is really critical about the Vienna model. The approach to social housing is that a huge proportion of the population is living in social housing and it is not segregated. That is what is really important. There is a very comprehensive planning approach to it, certainly from a children's perspective. We should have integrated spaces for children to play and that they are not seen as segregated within the planning system and to approach this from a family-friendly point of view. It would require a complete shift in mindset, but they are the best practice examples that we should be looking toward.
