ItemPlanning for Childcare(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2024-04-20) Tamura, MicahCity planners play a pivotal role in establishing the resources communities need to accomplish their goals. Childcare is a critical resource that supports parents' ability to work, promotes children’s development, and advances economic growth. I performed a spatial analysis to identify census tracts that need more childcare accessibility. The analysis compared measures of childcare availability, populations of women likely to use childcare, and economic distress to assess the need for childcare in census tracts within the Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell, GA Metropolitan Statistical Area (Atlanta Metro). I then created a report with spatial analysis, childcare leader insight, and city planning policy solutions that could be incorporated into a comprehensive plan. The purpose of the analysis and the report is to provide a framework for city planners to improve childcare accessibility.
