How can hostile architecture in public spaces be reimagined to create inclusive and accessible cities?
-
“Anti-homeless,”” hostile,” or “defensive” architecture hides on the streets of cities in plain sight. It is an urban-design strategy that uses elements of the built environment to purposefully restrict and impede people from various behaviors: from laying down on benches to leaning on walls. It is a detrimental practice that planners, architects, councils and taxpayers pay huge amounts of money for, and are often unaware of.
