Water fountain
The incorporation of water fountains or aquatic spaces in the public space works as a refreshing element in places where temperatures are very high, acting as a thermal regulator, and as an outdoor climatic refuge. At the same time, they are spaces that encourage people to gather and act as centres of attraction for community social activities. In the case of drinking water fountains, they are also a place of rest and supply in the public space, as well as guaranteeing access to free and public drinking water.
Pavements
Interventions on urban pavements are an essential urban intervention measure in the construction or transformation of urban spaces, as they are the game board on which the space is articulated. Pavements have different determining factors: permeability, colour, texture, shape, etc. These factors, applied in different ways, have different effects on public spaces, with the capacity to completely transform them. They are also a very useful type of intervention, as many major changes can be made with a minimum budget.
Benches
The incorporation of benches and rest areas in public spaces is essential to ensure accessibility. It is necessary to ensure that urban space is provided with rest areas for those who may need them. Without rest areas, people such as pregnant women and the elderly for example would not be able to enjoy them.
Lighting
Lighting is one of the key factors in creating a sense of security in public spaces. It is necessary to provide adequate lighting in public spaces to ensure that there are no dark areas or corners at night and to guarantee accessibility and safety for all users.
