Last week, officials from the municipality of San Martín traveled to Mexico to engage in an in-person training on urbanism and public policies. This opportunity arose from an international recognition for local management in child policies, which allowed the municipality to be selected for the Urban95 Academy training program. This initiative is supported by notable institutions such as the London School of Economics, the Monterrey Institute of Technology, and the Van Leer Foundation, with backing from the FEMSA Foundation in the region.

The Urban95 Academy program emphasizes rethinking urban development policies from the perspective of a 3-year-old child, roughly 95 centimeters tall, underscoring the importance of creating child-friendly environments. San Martín municipality was highlighted for its vision and commitment to developing urban strategies focused on the care and well-being of children. The recognition reflects the municipality's proactive approach and innovative strategies in prioritizing child-focused urban planning.

Local officials stressed the crucial need for continuous training of their teams, showcasing their commitment to improving urban policies for children. Their selection for this international training program not only brings international experience to the local context but also sets a precedent for other municipalities aiming to enhance their infrastructure and urban planning with a focus on children's needs. This progressive approach could potentially influence future urban policy development across Argentina and beyond.
