BrightSide.me has put together 14 examples of urban design which it would be cool to see in every city.

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
