They also make greater use of bicycles and public transport. In doing so, the youngest and the oldest generations demonstrate environmentally friendly mobility behavior. At the same time, however—as pedestrians and cyclists—they are more frequently involved in traffic accidents. The objective must be to provide them with better protection through streetscape design that is tailored to their specific needs. This brochure illustrates how street spaces can be adapted to the capabilities and requirements of children and older people, ensuring that all age groups benefit. It offers inspiration through examples of best practice drawn from municipalities across Germany.1 Online-Ressource (71 Seiten, 12,11 MB) : Illustrationen, Karten, Diagrammenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/711Street design for children and older people : recommendations and examples for practical application / publisher: Umweltbundesamt (German Environment Agency) ; authors: Dr Christoph Mall, Dr Meike Othengrafen, Annika Jung, Dr Michael Frehn, Jule Engelmann, Felix Regelsberger, Raphael Domin, Thomas Eltner, Nico Sunder (Planersocietät Frehn Steinberg Partner GmbH) ; editor: Petra Röthke-Habeck (German Environment Agency Department I 2.6 Sustainable Mobility in Urban and Rural Areas)
