Other Interventions

  • 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.

  • Dustbins

    Waste management is essential to ensure the necessary sanitation of public spaces, to reduce the risk of communicable diseases and to encourage the use of these spaces. Waste management in urban environments is also essential to raise public awareness of health, sanitation and waste management issues and their importance in the perception and use of public spaces.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Dog park

    Dog parks promote inclusivity in public spaces, as they introduce the collective of both animals and owners into them. On the other hand, they guarantee health and safety conditions in public spaces for other users, as they allow animals to move freely without disturbing or interfering with the activities of other open spaces users.
