Norwegian planning authorities know how the moose move and where salamanders thrive, but not where children play, or if their routes to school are safe. This result in undemocratic decisions when developing urban environments. ‘Children’s paths’ is one solution to this challenge. An online, digital tool allowing children to participate in city planning and community development to create better and more inclusive environments and urban spaces. The children map their out-door behaviour into existing municipal geographic information systems and are given a voice in urban planning. Schoolclasses do the mapping as a part of democracy teaching. The children individually register their route to school and describe how they use their neighborhood by using activity icons, for good, bad, dangerous, etc., and open text comments. The results are mappings and reports, which the planning offices integrate in GIS-systems to use on all planning levels, in regulation as well as in decision-making.
