About the Maps
An image of Boulder's 18"x24" printed child-friendly city map.
In 2019, Growing Up Boulder embarked upon a year-long process to co-create the nation's first, printed, bilingual, child friendly city map. We did so with almost 800 children and families, half of whom were from underrepresented populations. In May 2019, GUB published the first edition of the printed, bilingual, free map. In October 2019, we published the second edition of the printed map.
In September 2019, GUB published a digital version of the child friendly city map. The digital child friendly city map features even more locations than the printed map, and it offers child-friendly walking routes, biking routes, transit links, and child created interactive map games.
Finally, in December 2019, GUB published a digital teen friendly city map (targeting ages 11-18); this map was created by a team of University of Colorado Masters of the Environment students as their capstone project, under GUB's supervision. The Masters students worked with more than 400 teens to co-create the map.
