Ensuring a supportive childcare environment in urban low-rise residential areas requires the integration of childcare-friendly neighborhood-type urban regeneration and community-based cooperative childcare. This study aims to propose strategic approaches to enhance cooperative childcare systems and foster sustainable urban regeneration. Employing a mixed-methods approach of literature review and survey analysis, the study presents the following key findings. First, childcare in these areas should go beyond basic support to reduce economic burdens, improve access to information, and strengthen parental networks. Second, policies must address age-specific needs and promote parental involvement. Third, effective cooperative childcare requires educational programs, use of public facilities, and community spaces such as play and sports areas. Fourth, continued government and municipal support is crucial for infrastructure, efficient space use, financial stability, and collaborative initiatives. This study contributes to childcare-friendly urban regeneration by proposing policies and practical measures for a sustainable, inclusive cooperative childcare environment.
