When designers are called upon to make a public space more comfortable, useful or rational — that is, when designers serve people — it can sometimes lead to fantastic results. We hope they’ll never run out of ideas, and will continue to make the world a more wonderful place in which to live.
BrightSide.me has put together 14 examples of urban design which it would be cool to see in every city.
The public bench which is also a flower bed




The eco-friendly Wi-Fi hotspot




The reflective garden fence which changes appearance depending on the season




The glow-in-the-dark bike path in this park


The public bench which you can turn over after it rains and sit on the dry underside


These designs for a bench, staircase ramp and rain shelter


The bench which is also a table


The fold-out chairs which look like tulips
And the alternatives to benches — public hammocks!


The bus stop with swings
