Children are endangered pedestrians in Le Canet.
Rethinking power relations and space allocation of the street, the project plays with physical and legal changes to challenge car hegemony. Aiming to turn the city into a safe space for children to walk and play through a new reading of existing traffic laws, this cheeky yet radical redesign of the neighbourhood's streets sketches a safer environment, for children, yet for all, toward a post-carbon future.
