Modern urban planning prioritizes accessibility, and public benches are no exception. Contemporary bench designs incorporate several features specifically for people with mobility issues. Many benches now include sturdy armrests to assist with sitting down and standing up. The height is carefully calibrated to be comfortable for transfer from a wheelchair. Furthermore, designers are incorporating "transfer seats" with extended, flat surfaces at the ends of benches. Crucially, clear space is left underneath and around benches to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids, ensuring everyone can rest and enjoy public spaces comfortably. This commitment to inclusive street furniture makes our cities more welcoming for all residents and visitors.
Are your urban benches designed to be accessible for people with mobility issues?
