B4.7 Creating social places
Streets play a vital role as social spaces where people come together to gather, relax, and connect. By choosing the right materials, comfortable street furniture, and thoughtful place branding, we can create environments that feel welcoming and unique. These carefully designed spaces contribute to the essence of our communities, where everyday moments turn into meaningful experiences, enabling places for people to dwell and encouraging social interactions.
