The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of Child Friendly Cities centered on infant rights. To this end, we analyzed and analyzed the policy direction, principles and contents of Child Friendly Cities, domestic and foreign cases. The Child Friendly Cities project started in 2000 with the establishment of the Child Friendly Cities Secretariat in Florence, Italy and is being promoted in accordance with the actual situation of each country in the world. Thanks to such international trends, Korea’s UNICEF Korea Committee commissioned Seongbuk-gu in Seoul as the first ‘Child Friendly Cities’ in Korea in November 2013, and the UNICEF Child Friendly Cities project in Korea began in earnest. Currently, 44 cities / municipalities in Korea join the local government council promoting children friendly cities, and children are cooperating to create a livable community, of which 14 cities are certified as Child Friendly Cities. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child emphasized childhood age discrimination and emphasized that infants and toddlers have all the rights of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and that it is a crucial time for the realization of the rights of infants and toddlers. Nevertheless, the right to infants and toddlers is not fully reflected in the process of promoting Child Friendly Cities in Korea. To ensure the rights of infants and toddlers, a policy approach is required based on their perception of respect for infants and children and their ability and perspective for their practice. In order to achieve this, a child rights index is needed, focusing on the specificity of infants and toddlers within the scope of general ‘child rights’.
