We asked our students what was the most important aspect and while 43.6% strongly agree, mostly all of our students care deeply about safety in cities. We’ve seen it across our LNER Squad 006 and the trend continues even with a new batch of young people in our Smarter Cities Squad 014. When it came to aspects like Public spaces, Environment and sustainability, Accessibility and inclusivity, Transportation and mobility, Digital services, and Vibrant and inclusive communities, Safety significantly ranked higher! 👉 So, how might we as a society provide safer spaces for young people in our cities?
