“…In cluster #3, inclusive design, the top three keywords were independent mobility, public health, and travel. There is a strong correlation between the physical environment and independent mobility [52]. Studies in England [53], Australia [54], the United States [55], and Canada [56] have shown that children's independent mobility and active commuting have declined significantly in recent decades, particularly in downtown areas [57].…”

This study performs a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on child-friendly cities (CFC) conducted from 2000 to 2022. It investigates the global and domestic research trends using two prominent databases, Web of Science (WOS) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). The study reveals increasing global and domestic research publications on CFC, demonstrating an expanding interest in the area. The contributions of this study are threefold. First, it describes the status of the CFC in two databases based on quantitative analysis and an intuitive visualization, identifying patterns, hotspots, trends, and gaps. Second, by comparing the two databases, we have the following four findings: (1) the advancement of CFC construction and research focus is linked to economic development; (2) collaborative efforts involving multiple parties are crucial for policy implementation and engaging children in decision making; (3) the two databases demonstrate differing research emphases on the environment; (4) it is essential to broaden the channels for child participation. Finally, we propose the PAF dynamic conceptual model call for the sustainable development of CFCs.

“…Best practices on mobility across the globe have in recent times emphasized on vulnerable people but most developing countries lag behind. For example, Daodu & Said (2018) have observed that 70% of studies on the independent mobility of children between 2007 and 2008 were done in developed countries of Europe and little or nothing on Africa. In general, existing academic and technical discourses regarding motorization though numerous, have tended to be overly narrow and emanating from Engineers and economists (Klopp, 2012).…”

Central Business Districts (CBDs) in developing countries continue to experience adverse effects of automobile dominance but most car-free initiatives are concentrated in developed countries. This study evaluates the significance of car-free streets in developing countries by evaluating perceptions of street users and the priorities of key decision makers in Nairobi, Kenya. Based on structured interviews, the results indicate differences in perceptions towards safety comfort and connectivity in varying traffic conditions. From in-depth interviews, it is clear that decision makers have focused on smooth flow and parking of automobiles, order, and security of adjacent premises while side-lining the affairs of pedestrians.Keywords: Car-free; pedestrians; livability; StreeteISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

Current research on mobility in developing countries also shows a gap in articulating issues of automobile restrictions and the effects thereof.…”

It has been established that carfree streets in Central Business Districts (CBDs) are linked to more livable urban environments, but most studies on this topic have concentrated on developed countries. Based on data from 399 questionnaires and interviews with 6 key stakeholders, this study presents perceived safety, comfort, and connectivity of users across three street types: a typical car street, a one-way street, and a carfree street in Nairobi Kenya. Further, this study discusses the relationship between approaches of key decision makers such as the City Government and business owners against the priorities of day-to-day pedestrians.eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018.
