LOBO, Elena et al. The City of Girls and Boys of Huesca (Spain), an opportunity for designing healthy environment and public policies. Gac Sanit [online]. 2019, vol.33, n.3, pp.296-298.  Epub Nov 25, 2019. ISSN 0213-9111.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2018.04.011.

The City of Girls and Boys of Huesca (Spain) is an international project that seeks to foster children's autonomy and full participation in the construction of the city. Following its formal approval at the City Council of Huesca, the Girls and Boys Board and the City Laboratory were created, both of which include children from all the schools of Huesca. To highlightthe work on health, activities such as “Healthy School Paths”, in which the asset mapping technique is used, were incorporated. Besides the interdisciplinary work among different areas of the city council, professionals from education (schools and university), health and social services, effects on the urban physical environment, with one street, park and square remodelled; and on the children's lifestyles, with more children walking to school alone, have been observed.
