abstract: The ability of a child to move safely and independently around the city is one of the core elements of children’s urban life. The principles of children’s wellbeing  in the city are secured by different policy documents, conventions and resolutions adopted worldwide. However, more and more children nowadays are being chauffeured to the schools, and that results in growing children’s obesity rates and underdevelopment of social and physical skills. A few cities make a real effort to improve this situation and change travel behavior of the young residents. In order to understand more deeply the issue of promoting children’s independent mobility, this research was initiated with the aim to investigate the European child-oriented directives and guidelines and their implementation in different countries and cities. The case studies of four European cities were examined, and a set of recommendations for facilitating relevant child-oriented projects was worked out.
