For the past 12 years Growing Up Boulder was听a part of听兔子先生传媒文化作品's鈥鼵ommunity Engagement, Design and Research (CEDaR) Center. Now one of the most鈥痵uccessful child-friendly city initiatives in the world, GUB is听transitioning to an independent听nonprofit, a model for how the听university听can develop, nurture and then spin off听nonprofit听activities.
Growing Up Boulder and the city of Boulder, Colorado, are actively involving all stakeholders to make it a child- and youth-friendly city.
Professors Emeriti in CEDaR, Louise Chawla and Willem van Vliet, co-authored a chapter on 鈥淐hildren鈥檚 Rights to Child-friendly Cities," which was published in the latest edition of the Handbook of Children鈥檚 Rights (Routledge, 2017).
