    Cardiff leads global conversations on Child-Friendly cities 🌍 We’re proud to see Cardiff’s leadership in child-friendly urban development recognised on the international stage! As the UK’s first UNICEF Child Friendly City, Cardiff is setting the standard for how cities can prioritise children’s rights in policy and planning. Lead Officer for Child Friendly Cardiff, Lee Patterson, represented Cardiff at two major international events in China: a high-level UNICEF conference in Jinan and the 2024 Shanghai Sino-Foreign Forum on Children. Lee showcased how Cardiff is embedding children’s rights into health, education, and family services, and how our innovative approach to city resource allocation is helping create a city where every child can thrive. Cardiff’s participation not only highlights our commitment to creating a better future for children, but also strengthens global partnerships focused on making cities safer, healthier, and more supportive for young people.
